+Research in Gupta Lab focuses on key biological processes related to Cell Signalling, Cell Proliferation, and Cell Differentiation. The questions of our interest are:
-  * <color maroon>How cells respond to external signals,</color>
-  * <color maroon>How the timing and number of cell division are controlled,</color>
-  * <color maroon>How cells acquire unique identities,</color>
-  * <color maroon>How environmental signals modulate animal behavior</color>
-<color maroon>These questions form the basis of our work to understand the mechanisms of diseases, such as cancer and neuronal degeneration, with the ultimate goal of developing potential treatments. For this we are using two well-known nematode (worm) model organisms //C. elegans// and //C. briggsae//. These tiny animals (roughly 1 mm long) are particularly useful in discovering the roles of conserved genes and pathways in processes that are shared among all eukaryotes.\\

-Our approach is multidisciplinary and includes techniques in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and engineering. We collaborate extensively with other laboratories, both at McMaster and outside, to develop new tools and resources. The applied aspect of our work involves making use of basic research findings and in-house tools to carry out drug discovery projects.</color>\\

+Research projects in our lab are currently funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In previous years we were also supported by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (MRI), Canadian Research Chairs (CRC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT), and National Institutes of Health (NIH).\\
