CDFD campus
 
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)

Maddika Subba Reddy secured his PhD in Biochemistry and Medical Genetics from the University of Manitoba in 2007.[1] His post-doctoral training was at the laboratory of Junjie Chen of Yale University and on his return to India in 2009, he joined the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) where he heads the Laboratory of Cell Death and Cell Survival (LCDCS).[2] A Wellcome Trust-DBT India Alliance senior fellow since 2016, Reddy is known for his studies on cellular phosphatases and cellular signaling pathways.[3]

The team led by Reddy is credited with the identification of NEDD4-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase WWP2, an E3 ligase, as a regulator for PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene and the discovery is reported to have significance in controlling cell proliferation, thereby in controlling cancer.[4] He has published a number of articles;[5][note 1] ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 77 of them.[6]

Awards and honors
