Area of specialization:
 


Cancer Biology :
The focus of my research is basically in the field of cancer biology on three different areas (i) Identification and targeting of metastatic promoting factors, (ii) Targeting of tumor metabolism and (iii) Repolarization or reactivation of tumor-associated macrophages and TC cells by modulating tumor microenvironment.
Keeping in view of above problem, the interest of my laboratory is to identify and target the crucial molecules associated with metastasis, metabolism and tumor microenvironment of cancer for designing novel therapeutic strategies.
