About Ms. Sakshi Seth
Sakshi Seth is a research scholar working under Dr. K. Sudakaraprasad at Smart Materials and Devices (SMAD) laboratory division, YRC. Her academic background includes a BTech in Biotechnology and a MTech in Genetic Engineering, which has provided her with a robust foundation in genetic and molecular assay development. During her Master's program at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, she dedicated her year-long dissertation to the translational development of a LAMP (Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification) assay for blood-based colorectal cancer diagnosis. Earlier in her career, she gained hands-on experience in cancer immunotherapy through her Bachelor's dissertation at CSCR, CMC Vellore. Following her MTech, Ms. Seth pursued an internship at a biotech startup. She then served as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at PGIMER Chandigarh, where her work concentrated on the challenging area of circulating tumor cell (CTC) isolation. Her current research interest is keenly focused on cell-free DNA (cfDNA)-based cancer detection.
