Biography

As a biochemist specialized in Neurochemistry, she ascertained the effects of psychotropic drugs on catecholamines in brains of inbred mouse strains and established that behaviour and drug responses have a genetic basis. As Neuroendocrinologist, she established in vitro and in vivo animal models (rodent and primate) and focussed studies on two aspects: 1) Feedback regulation of reproductive hormones 2) Regulation of spermatogenesis, at a molecular level, by hypophyseal and gonadal, protein and steroid sex hormones. She retired as Head of Neuroendocrinology Department, National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health, J.M Street, Parel, Mumbai, India.
