PROJECTS &DISSERTATION UNDERTAKEN

M.Phil Thesis: Cytogenetic mechanisms of human breast cancer and therapeutic interventions. The thesis involves the genetic lineage, environmental factors which influence breast cancer. It assesses cellular-genetic mechanisms of human breast cancer in both women and men with therapeutic interventions.

Under the guidance of Dr.Sumangala K Bhat, for Dr.CV Raman University (2015).

M.Tech (Dissertation): Prospecting anti cancerous properties of plants and their role in Complementary Alternative Medicine. The dissertation sums up a cross-sectional study assessing few anti-cancerous fungi and plants which are potent to be supplemented as Complementary Alternative Medicine with Chemotherapy to reduce its side effects. Under the guidance of Dr.Sumangala K Bhat, for Bhundlekhand University (2014). (Working still on this extended scientific study of two anti cancerous plants).

M.Sc. projects:

Culturing of bacteria for research purposes. The present study elaborated all the bacterial culturing techniques for research purposes.

Preparation of chart of human karyotype abnormalities (syndrome)-Downs, Criduchat, Kline filters, Turner syndrome. A qualitative study aimed at an in-depth understanding of the chromosomal abbreviations in various syndromes.

Genetic Counselling and Pedigree Analysis. As the title suggests it was focused on studying the role of the genetics in several genetic disorders, consequences of consanguineous marriages, possible reasons for miscarriages, evaluating major sources of genetic diseases, and exploring family tree for healthy progenies.
