Brief Biography:


I am a cancer biologist, with 17 years of research experience. Received Ph.D in 2002 (Mahatma Gandhi University, India) for my research work on prognostic biomarkers for prediction of radiotherapy response in oral cancer. As a postdoctoral scientist at University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler and then at San Antonio, my research was focused on investigating the biological response to DNA damage. As a Research Instructor at University of Texas Health Science Center as San Antonio, I utilized systems biology based approach for the investigations on biological response to DNA damage. Currently, my research at UMASS Medical School at Worcester is focused on extending my previous experiences towards developmental therapeutics to apply in the treatment of lymphoma.
