Training undergone

Title : Training on techniques in Stem Cell Technology & Molecular Biology.

Location: University of Madras, Guindy campus
Duration: June to July 2006

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.
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.

Exposure to Methodology/Techniques/Instruments
1. INSTRUMENTATION: Agarose gel Electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, Western
