Biography
Deepa Selvi Rani is from CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India. She is interested in understanding the Genetic basis of Cardiovascular Diseases, Male infertility, Mitochondrial disorders and the Origin of Modern Humans. She has two master's degrees, MSc in Biochemistry and MSc in Biotechnology. Her PhD work was on "Molecular Studies in Cardiomyopathies and Noonan Syndrome." She identified several mutations in sarcomere protein genes causing cardiomyopathies and sudden cardiac arrest in Indian patients. To understand the disease specifically, she studied DNA sequence variations and their association in patients, their molecular mechanisms, which are relevant to pharmacogenomic studies and personalized medicine. She is an enthusiastic, dedicated, outstanding researcher and published more than 60 papers in peer-reviewed International Journals. She has a 23 h-index, 41 i10-index and a total of 1800 citations.
