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. Extra Curricular Activities Active participant in college activities, 1.
