Senior Scientist
Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics,Division of Biochemistry
Central Food Technological Research Institute
India
Biography
"He is currently employed as senior scientist in the laboratory of cancer epigenetics exploring the epigenetic of cancer stem cells along with the epigenomics of cancer to explore the novel targets. He also Develops experimental animal models to study the epigenetic of carcinogenesis and cancer metastasis."
Research Interest
"His research interest includes exploring the epigenetic role of bioactive diets and dietary supplements on cancer prevention and therapy.The role of different epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation as well as histone methylation changes during the processes of carcinogenesis is investiagated."
