Biography

Vaidehi Jobanputra, is a AssociateProfessor in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology, areas of interest research on clinical and translational research for constitutional disorders and cancer. We use genome-wide tools including chromosomal microarray (CMA) and Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) for comprehensive molecular characterization of genomic structural variants and single nucleotide variants associated with congenital heart disease and hematological malignancies and actors contributing to nondisjunction in ageing human oocytes. We are studying meiotic proteins affecting chromosome segregation in human oocytes

Research Intrest
