Research interests
Ever changing food habit and environmental annoyance trigger proliferation of wide range of oxidative stress molecules in cellular micro-environment and all these end in toxicological interventions. These molecules of stress lineages significantly attack cellular materials, chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA resulting in genomic instability, post-translational modification of protein with subsequent alteration in bio-molecular metabolism, crucially responsible for synthesis, development and repair of the organism. Cooperative interaction of metabolic pathways is also interrupted due to excessive generation of free radicals and oxidative stress molecules.
My research interest lies in the area of anthropological and environmental toxicants and it’s overdue in the alteration of cellular bioenergetics. I wish to drive into bioremediation for the toxicological ex
