Research approach: I believe in Steve Job’s saying “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” So, not only understanding the biology, rather implementing it for a better and greater cause is what is needed and expected from researches like us today. Current Interests: A detailed approach to understand the uniqueness of cancer stem cells, comparing them to the normal stem cells. Delineating pathways that make CSCs aggressive and resistant to common anti-cancer treatments. Finding out the probable cause of cancer relapse and designing therapeutic strategies to abolish the roots. Methods and Techniques used: Cell culture, mammosphere, Flow cytometry, Cell sorting, Immunofluroscence, Histology, Immunohistochemistry, siRNA, Nanoparticles, Drugs, Inhibitors.
