Research Area

My focus of research is to know whether ROS/RNS induced oxidative stress activates innate defense response during carcinogenesis and role of antioxidants in this regard. My ultimate goal is to delineate the complex interrelationships between the oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators, wherein the promise of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapies in controlling progressive disease conditions can be realized. Currently, I have following work undergoing or in pipeline:
    Inflammation and its molecular and cellular targets during H. pylori infection and associated gastric cancer. 
    Evaluating the mechanism involved in the toxicity of Anthracyclines used as chemotherapeutic drugs (DST funded).
    Development plasma/serum proteome with reference to the specific biomarkers of oxidative/nitrosative stress produced during the course of carcinogenesis and analysis for the identification of tumor-associated biomarkers.
    Serological studies to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of the bio-markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and antioxidant status of human diseases such as cancer, diabetes and chronic heart diseases.
    To investigate the cause effect relationship between the environmental contaminants and hypertension and diabetes  in Malwa region of Punjab. 

Research Interests

Trained in proteomics and disease-state specific bio markers analysis at University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston (USA). Expertise include maintaining parasite, cell lines, handling/caring mouse colonies (knock-out, transgenic), cutting-edge molecular approaches, oxidative biochemistry and enzymology, inflammatory pathology.
