Sukanta Mondal has primary research interests in the improvement of the reproductive efficiency of female livestock, particularly buffalo. I have experience in (i) cloning, characterization, and expression of PGES, PGFS, and FSH receptor gene, (ii) isolation, culture, and characterization of endometrial epithelial and stromal cells, (iii) studying the effect of modulators on in vitro prostaglandin production, (iv) mapping of DNA, RNA and protein profile during growth and regression of corpus luteum, (v) probing of steroid hormone receptor profiles during different stages of the estrous cycle (vi) endocrine profiles of the estrous cycle in cattle and buffalo (vii) development of assay of inhibin in blood plasma (viii) investigating endocrine profiles during silent estrus in cattle and buffalo and (ix) exploring the endocrine profiles during pregnancy and post-partum period in goat. Under the DBT Overseas associateship programme (2009-2010; Long term) at the University of Laval, Canada; I am having hands-on experience on (i) silencing of COX-2 and AKR1B5 genes on prostagladin production and expression of COX-2 and AKR1B5 protein and mRNA, (ii) elucidating the effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on prostaglandin production and protein expression, (iii) cloning and sequencing of candidate genes related to prostaglandin biosynthesis and transport, (iv) investigating the impact of transfection of AKR1B5 plasmid on prostaglandin production to overexpress gene expression in stromal cells.
Sukanta Mondal's research interests are Molecular Endocrinology, Environmental Science, Reproductive Genomics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Stress Biology.
