Biographic Sketch:
RamaRao Golime is an Associate Professor atEpidemiology and Public Health Department, Central University of Tamil Nadu. He completedhis M.Sc and Ph. D in Biochemistry and has 18 years’ research experience as scientist at DRDO-DRDE, Ministry of Defence, India. Dr. RamaRaoresearch contributions in themolecular toxicological aspects of organophosphorus (OP) nerve-agent exposurehas identified the role of key genes and proteins related to major signalling pathways and transcriptional regulation during OPnerve-agent exposure and demonstrated the efficacy of new combination of antidotes for nerve-agent’sand highlighted the midazolam inclusion as an effective anticonvulsant along with atropine and oxime for nerve agent therapyin case of any military or civilian exposures.His post-doctoral studies were focused on the development of vaccine against Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) and molecular epigenetic and pharmacological studies of mesotheolioma and HTLV-1 induced leukemia.He developed several analytical detection methods forprotein biomarkers of toxic chemical exposures.He successfullyparticipated in 8 international proficiency tests conducted by the OPCW (organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons), a united nations body to verify the toxicants exposure in biomedical samples to maintain the designation status for India. He has received several awards and honors for his contributions. My current goals will be focused on the toxic chemicals role in the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases.

   
Research Highlights :

My research is directed towards the understanding the toxicological adverse effects and pharmacology aspects of toxic chemical exposures and screening of effective drugs for organophosphorus chemicals using biochemical, molecular, genomics and proteomics approaches in in-vitro and in-vivo models.Development of analytical methods for the detection of biomarkers of the toxicant exposure in the biological samples is another area of interest.My research has published in several international peer reviewed journals.Ourlab future researchwill be focused on the elucidating the role of toxic chemicals exposure in the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases.
