[1] He heads the Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics (Sanjeev Galande Lab) at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune.
He is the founder of the Centre of Excellence in Epigenetics at IISER Pune and is known for his studies on higher-order chromatin architecture and how it influences spatiotemporal changes in gene expression.
[9] He headed the Sanjeev Galande Laboratory at the NCCS till 2010 when he shifted to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune as a professor[10] and established the Centre of Excellence in Epigenetics (CoEE) there.
[11] His team investigate biological processes such as transcription, gene regulation, cell proliferation, self-renewal and regeneration and their interrelations for which they employ genetic, biochemical, molecular and computational approaches.
[1] Galande's contributions to the biological sciences earned him the National Bioscience Award for Career Development of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) in 2006.
