Kanthesh M Basalingappa

Dr. Kanthesh M Basalingappa is an Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at the School of Life Sciences, JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru India. His goal of research is to determine the role of RNA Binding proteins in tumor progression and metastasis. Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by RNA binding protein is a crucial mechanism in regulating the timing and the amount of expression of genes. Growing evidence indicate that the alteration of the expression and function of RNA binding proteins could potentially play a role in inflammation and cancer. Dr. Kanthesh BM did is PhD from University of Madras (2005), He also did postdoctoral research at the University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007-2009); West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA (2090-2011) and University of Oklahoma Health Sciences, Oklahoma, USA (2011-2014). He received Malaysia Prestigious Bio-Malaysia Gold medal Award (2008). For his research area is Arbovirus infections, in that they done patented work on “Early detection of BK virus using molecular methods”. He also Received Dr. Wilson Aruni “Best Research Mentor and Teacher Gold medal Award” from the Indian Association of Applied Microbiology (IAAM) (2018). He has been engaged in teaching and research in Microbiology & Molecular Biology for the past 20 years. He has published over 80 original research papers, 15 book chapters, and 15 review articles. He is also Professional and Scientific Memberships in, American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), Life Member of Indian Association of Applied Microbiology (IAAM), Life Member of Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists (IABMS), Indian Association of Medical Microbiologist (IAMM). He Received Fellowship Award from Indian Association of Applied Microbiology (FIAAM). At present he is a having collaboration with Royal Research Foundation, a research institute in India.
