Educational Projects:

M.Sc. Project: CANCER STEM CELLS

Title : Differential expression of CD34 and NOTCH in the normal and
cancerous tissues of gastric epithelium and its implication in carcinogenesis.
Location : University of Madras, Guindy campus.
Duration : June to August 2007
Guide : Dr.H.Devaraj Professor of Biochemistry & Director, Guindy
Campus, University of Madras.
Description : Ectopic expression of CD 34 observed in gastric cancer not in normal
gastric cells by RT-PCR indicates the presence of CD 34 expressing undifferentiated
HSCs in the cancerous mass. NOTCH suppresses differentiation of HSCs and
promotes retention of cancer stem cell properties, so its reexpression during the
gastric neoplastic transformation favors cancerous growth. From our experiment, it
has been observed that the retention of dedifferentiated characteristic of CD34
expressing HSC cell precursors created by notch expression could promote tumor
progression under proliferative environment created by chronic inflammation and
their mediators

B.Sc. Project: PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE

Title : In vitro fruiting of Datura inoxia using Ovary Culture
Location : Andhra Loyola College, Acharya Nagarjuna University.
Duration : November 2004 to March 2005.
Guide : Fr.Dr.S.Emmanuel.sj, HOD of Biotechnology, Andhra Loyola College
Description : Evaluating the effect of plant growth hormones and effect of different
media on in vitro fruiting from ovaries. Experiments were conducted with MS
medium, Gamborg, B5 medium with different growth hormones like BAP, kinetin,
GA, NAA at different concentrations. Results obtained concluded that BAP is suitable
hormone to obtain in vitro fruiting on full strength MS medium.
