Welcome!

Welcome to my website. Here you will find information of my research, teaching, My role in Academy-academy interactions, Academy-Industry interactions, industry-industry interactions.

Dr. C B Sanjeevi heads the research group, Diabetes-Immunology (which was formerly referred to as Molecular Immunogenetics group). The group focuses its research on Autoimmune diabetes, which include Type 1 Diabetes, LADA and other forms of Diabetes with autoimmune basis, eg: Malnutrition Modulated Diabetes Mellitus. Autoimmune Diabetes has a strong genetic basis (its incidence in Sweden is one of the highest in the world). My group’s main interest lies in the understanding of the bio markers, immunogenetic factors, especially its structural and functional aspects of these genes, in the understanding of the etiology of the disease and finding ways to predict the disease and possibly to prevent the disease.

Dr. Sanjeevi has served as a member of the Editorial board of HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY, member of the International Advisory Board of the Journal of Association of Physicians of India (JAPI) from January 2005, Associate editor for DIABETOLOGIA (published by EASD), member of the Editorial Board of 'Current Diabetes Reviews' from USA and Editor for the 'IMMUNOLOGY OF DIABETES' series published by the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (USA). Five volumes had been published and the links to these volumes are given below.
