Aparna Duggirala

Aparna Duggirala is a Lecturer in Clinical Genetics at the College of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, cardiovascular disease pathways, and molecular biology of non-coding RNAs. She has contributed to studies on DNA methylation patterns, microRNA regulation in pregnancy, and drug mechanisms like Liraglutide’s cardiovascular effects.

Her work bridges clinical genetics with translational research, particularly in understanding genetic-environment interactions. Key areas include epigenetic variations in South Asian populations, inflammatory signaling modulation, and vascular smooth muscle cell biology.

Recent publications (2025) highlight systematic reviews on physical activity’s molecular effects and predictive biomarkers for fetal growth restriction. She co-leads the ARIES data resource for integrated epigenomic studies.

Her 15+ articles span 2007–2025, addressing topics from bacterial genomics to advanced metabolomic profiling. Research trends emphasize multi-omics approaches and clinical implications of epigenetic changes.

No awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts, though her contributions to epigenetic databases suggest potential recognition in bioinformatics.

While no student advisees are documented here, her involvement in collaborative studies indicates active participation in research teams focused on cardiovascular and epigenetic research.
