On August 01, 2009 we have had an addition to our family- Niva. The little one is doing fine and so is doing her mom.  According to our contemporary saying, the new born child in each home will bring in goodluck, happiness, success and prosperity. So our little one has done. Welcome Niva to Bhandari family. We love you.

We have had a baby girl last month. I thought of updating this great news a while ago. Due to the tremendous bench work in my lab, I could not take a breathe. Our little one’s name is Niva. The meaning of this name is Sun in Nepal and expression in hebrew. There are several other meanings which include cute baby, lucky girl, victorious girl, cautious, Eternal strength, etc. Niva is growing well. She was just 2.9 kg/19inch at birth and now on her 45 days, she is 5.1 kg and 23 inch in length.
As for my research, I am on the manuscript writing phase. Recently, finished up a manuscript that describes about the role of Nt3 in sex determination. The other one is on its way and describes about interaction of Sry with E-box proteins and differentiation of Sertoli cells in the male gonad. Overexpression of some of these factors induce male marker expression in the female-derived primary cells. I am describing how I dug out the mechanism involved in it.
