· Research Area : Cancer biology, Oral Pre cancer , Metabolomics, Cancer Theranostics

My research area is interdisciplinary in nature . I employ multifaceted experimental approaches by using various spectroscopy techniques, biochemistry and cell biology to elucidate the fundamental molecular mechanisms that regulate critical insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying causes to related diseases progression towards malignant form of cancers. which in turn could be implemented in the characterization of key components of disease pathogenesis . This should also serve as the base to challenge the existing problem of drug resistance and the absence of vaccines, and help in designing novel drug targets against various types of cancer which currently is affecting a huge part of the population each year.
