Most Recent
Project
My Ph.D. thesis worked on “PPC NanoTorrid® Structure for Photothermal Therapy in Breast Cancer”.
During my thesis; I have developed Plasmonic Nanoparticles which are capable enough to absorb NIR light
and respond to that it produces intense plasmons which eventually produces heat which is further utilized for cancer cell destruction.
I also have done pre-clinical studies by doing in-vivo studies on 4t1 mice model.
During in-vivo studies I have developed skills in immunology, cancer biology, cell or molecular biology.
