RESEARCH PROJECTS AND TITLE:

InĀ  role as the Principal Investigator (PI), She leading a research project titled “Isolation, characterization of herbal plant constituents and their effect on curing Osteoporosis using osteoblastic cell lines.” This initiative, funded by the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) under the Ministry of AYUSH, involves a comprehensive exploration of herbal plant constituents. The project aims to isolate and characterize bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, focusing on their potential in treating Osteoporosis. The study involves the use of osteoblastic cell lines to assess the therapeutic impact of these herbal constituents. The NMPB has generously allocated 40.0 Lakhs for the successful execution of this research endeavor.

Additionally, She spearheading another significant research project titled “Estimation of potency of anti-cancerous Thiosemicarbozones and its derivatives via genotoxic and cytotoxic biomarkers in cancer patients.” As the PI, She overseeing this project funded by the Seed Fund at Sharda University. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of anti-cancerous Thiosemicarbozones and their derivatives through the assessment of genotoxic and cytotoxic biomarkers in cancer patients. The Seed Fund has allocated 1 Lakh for the successful completion of this research initiative.
