Short Bio
- Dr. Prasad Pethe is an assistant professor at SCSCR. He completed his Ph.D. from National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health (NIRRH), Mumbai. Previously he has worked as Senior Research officer at National Burns Centre and at Piramal Life Sciences Ltd. He worked as assistant professor at NMIMS Sunandan Divatia School of Science, NMIMS (deemed-to-be) university, Mumbai. His research interests include differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, epigenetics and organoid culture, differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into pancreatic and neural lineage, and investigating the interactions between Polycomb Group Proteins (PcGs) and signaling pathways during stem cell differentiation. He is investigating the effect of substrate stiffness on pluripotency and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. At SCSCR, he has initiated a project to understand the role of Polycomb group (PcG) proteins in regulating Epithelial to mesenchymal (EMT) and fibrosis genes in endometriosis.
