Anshika Chauhan, PhD

About

I am interested in exploring Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) Biology in terms of their Gene expression and exploiting their gene expression for prediction/detection of micro-metastsis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma(HNSCC). I am also interested in understanding the biological mechanisms of CTC biology in terms of agressiveness.
