Dear Editors,

I am Prof.Bamezai <bamezai@jnuniv.ernet.in> Incharge of the Lab. of Human Genetics, School of Life Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. I have been working in the area of Human Genetics for the past 20years. I started my research career working in the area of Prenatal Diagnosis in early and mid seventees. Since then we have worked in different areas of clinical genetics. For the past 8 years we are working in the areas of genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases like leprosy and tuberculosis and also cancer, taking Bloom syndrome cell lines as an in vitro model. Our two publications in 1997 in Leprosy have appeared in Human Genetics vol.100:pp.30-34 and 43-50. In case more information is required, I will be glad to provide. I am looking forward to more exchanges and interaction and collaboration, regards.
