Using the grant, the professor will be spawning the appropriate facilities to perform cell culture and virus-related research at SRM AP.

Understanding how a virus overpowers the host resistance mechanisms and seizes the host cellular processes for its own growth is very challenging and is essential for the development of not only efficient viral vaccines but also for antiviral therapeutic strategies, says Professor Durga Rao of SRM AP.

Efforts by us and Dr Bhan, former Secretary, Department of Biotechnology of Government of India led to the discovery and development of the first made in India rotavirus vaccine, produced by Bharat Biotech of Hyderabad, said Professor Durga Rao of SRM AP.

In the earlier project, Professor Rao of SRM AP observed that while some human rotaviral proteins could be expressed at high levels when the cloned genes were introduced into mammalian cells, other proteins could not be expressed at detectable levels.

However, the virus expresses copious amounts of all its proteins when it infects the cells.

Professor Rao further said within a few hours of infection, each virus employs several ploys in the infected cell to subvert the cellular defence and regulatory mechanisms and captures the host for its own progeny production.

Based on the earlier observations, this project will advance to unravel the tricks employed by the virus, and viral transactions in the infected cells.
