Research Intersts: My research focus is on endocrinology and mechanistic evaluation of endocrine disrupting potential of different commonly used chemicals including pesticides. Many chemicals, known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found to have endocrine disrupting effects which alter the hormone action. EDCs can change the normal working of the endocrine glands by imitating or obstructing endogenous hormone action, modulating body’s own hormone synthesis or amending hormone receptors. 2. Cancer therapy is a burning topic all over the world and I am working on different treatment options in different types of cancers. I am in collaboration with other research teams to research on cancer epigenetics, targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy, gene silencing and use of stem cells for cancer therapy.
