About

I carried out my PhD research work for 5 years under Dr. HK Manonmani, Senior Principal scientist at CSIR- Central Food Technological Institute, Mysore, in Food Protectants and infestation control department. My experience is in extraction and characterization of secondary metabolites from plant and microbial sources, their application in treatment and management of diabetes. Additionally, to evaluate the antidiabetic effect of the isolated active principles and their encapsulated formulations in in vitro and in vivo model systems with respect to cytotoxicity, mode of action and quantification of disease specific markers using ELISA and RT-PCR.
I further continued my Post- doctoral research at Indian institute of science, Bangalore, for an year where I worked on a DBT funded project which involved investigations into the mechanobiology of tissue fibrosis. In collaboration with Prof. P. Kondaiah (Molecular Reproduction, Development, and Genetics department) and Prof. B. Gopal (Molecular Biophysics Unit) at the institute, I used colorimetric methods to estimate the amount of collagen in animal tissues like rat tail and porcine aorta. High performance liquid chromatography was used to quantify the collagen types; I and III in these tissues to further relate to crosslink density
