Having a PhD
inZoology, what triggered your decision to pursue research in cancer and stem cell biology?
I completed my Ph.D. in Zoology, Madras
University following which I was able to have an exposure to all the avenues in science amongst which Stem cell biol- ogy
struck my cord when I completed post doctoral fellowship from University of
Alberta, Canada. I
further worked for over 2 years in MIOT hospital research centre where
I studied the
‘Use of fat pads adopted
from patients with
knee replacement surgeries
to cure orthopedic
non-disjunctions, by selectively dif- ferentiating adipose
stem cells to osteoblast cells
for bone repair’. Currently, my lab focuses on a stem cells marker-
Nucleostemin, Breast milk derived stem cells, cancer biology
and inter-correlation
between stem cells and phospholipids.
When you first
started research, the field of stem
cells was still at nascent stage, what
were the hardships /challenges that you came across?
Lack of diversification in stem cell research
and only a handful of people
really working with stem
cells, the start-up of my research
laboratory was not easy.
Mastering the culture of stem cells is the key to prolific results in stem
cells...
