Research Project Primarily
On Type II Diabetes
 Tailored a study on role of ROS in the progression of β-cell dysfunction in T2DM using
β -cell lines and presented a research proposal to the hospital board for its approval
 Studied various insulin producing β -cell lines based on cell growth profile, post
seeding stability and insulin secretion data. Established liaison with one such
organization for cell procurement
 Under went hands on training program on clinical immunology diagnosis of ANA,
ANCA, Liver profile, rheumatoid profile using Indirect Immunofluorescence, ELISA and
Blot techniques. Set up a laboratory to carry out the same
