Biography

My area of expertise in Immunology, Drug delivery and Disease modeling. My doctoral research focused on developing a receptor targeting protein-based nano formulation to improve therapeutic efficacy of Methotrexate against inflamed cells of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am much interested in developing disease model such as in vitro inflammatory RA model using 3D co-culture techniques to replicate disease pathophysiology. I am a great in animal handling, performed my pilot studies in AIA rat model, to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of nano formulations. Also, I gained experience in human ex-vivo organ culturing, primary cell isolation while positioned as Project assistant in Aravind Medical research Foundation (AMRF). During my Masters, I contributed in recombinant protein expression study for anti-cancer applications at Anna University, Chennai.
