Profile Summary

I am experienced research professional in the field of cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, zoology and other allied bio-sciences. I have a Ph. D degree in Cancer research, where I researched the effect of plant extracts and their major components on human cancer cells. The work involved studies on molecular mechanism of cell death induced by plant extracts in precancerous and cancer cells, along with other studies like antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties of the extracts. My research was carried out using modern techniques from cell biology, biochemistry and immunology. My research findings are published in reputed journals and conferences. I am proficient in writing scientific research and review articles, reviewing and evaluating papers, writing research grant proposals, reviewing articles, summarizing findings, gaps and scope for future research through literature search.
