Research specialization (Major Scientific Fields of Interest based on phytochemicals - prevention and chemosensitization : |
|
|
 |
Mammalian cell cultures (including cancer cells of human origin), radiation response of cells, mutagenesis, genetic toxicology, cytogenetic abnormalities (micronuclei, sister chromatid exchange, chromosome aberration etc), DNA damage (comet assay), gene amplification. |
 |
Mammalian cell apoptosis (in both normal and tumor cells) and its characterization by morphological (chromatin condensation), molecular (DNA fragmentation, caspase activity) and genetic (expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes) criteria |
 |
Cancer chemoprevention by natural polyphenolic compounds using cytogenetic anomalies. |
 |
Amelioration of arsenic induced toxicity by natural compounds, particularly tea and curcumin in both in vitro and in vivo systems. |
 |
Protection against oxidative stress created by arsenic by antioxidant activity of tea and curcumin in both in vitro and in vivo models. |
 |
Field trial intervention study using curcumin in human population residing in arsenic
affected areas in West Bengal. |
 |
Randomized field trial with black tea against inhibition of DNA repair in chronically arsenic affected skin lesions in West Bengal, India |
 |
Identification of some important tumor markers like protein kinase C, telomerase,
NFkB, TNF alpha, Histone deacetylase, Heat shock protein etc and their modulation by
plant derived natural compounds. |
 |
Sensitization and potentiation efficacy of tumor cells by natural compounds (by modulating such markers) towards apoptosis by conventional chemotherapeutic drugs. This is highly relevant in cancer therapy as presence of non-toxic phytochemicals reduce the effective drug dose and associated toxic side effects. |
