Rate My Professor Devendrasinh Jhala

Prof. (Dr.) Devendrasinh Jhala serves as Professor in the Department of Zoology, Biomedical Technology, Human Genetics and Wildlife Biology & Conservation at Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, India. He earned his Ph.D., M.Phil., M.Sc., and B.Sc. degrees. His academic career at Gujarat University began in 2003 as Project Assistant and Project Associate, followed by appointment as Assistant Professor in 2005, Associate Professor in 2017, and Professor in 2020. Jhala's research specializes in cytogenetics, molecular biology, and toxicology, encompassing the genotoxic and oxidative stress effects of environmental toxicants including fluoride, arsenic, lead, cadmium, and the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. His studies investigate ameliorative interventions using natural antioxidants such as melatonin, curcumin, and Carica papaya leaf extract. Additional foci include molecular mechanisms of hidradenitis suppurativa involving gamma-secretase gene mutations, methylome dysregulation, and long non-coding RNAs; recurrent pregnancy loss through array comparative genomic hybridization; limb girdle muscular dystrophy founder mutations; probiotic safety assessments; and biogenic nanoparticle synthesis from marine fungi.
