Under the supervision of Dr.Mahitosh Mandal, Associate Professor, School of Medical Science and Technology, IIT Kharagpur, India.

Research topic: Combining EP4 prostanoid receptor inhibition with photothermal therapy for effective treatment of cervical cancer.

• My research focuses on the therapeutic significance of prostanoid inhibition in cervical cancer and its combination with gold nanoparticle mediated photothermal therapy.

• I have studied the efficacy of GW627368X, a selective EP4 prostanoid receptor antagonist in treatment of cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo and elucidated its mechanism of action. I have also conducted a preclinical safety assessment of GW627368X treatment in mice sarcoma model.

• I utilized a combination treatment modality of EP4 receptor antagonism and photothermal therapy using gold nanoprticles. I designed multifunctional, drug loaded gold nanorod cored polymeric micelles allowing targeted drug delivery and photothermal activity simultaneously and elucidated the molecular mechanism of photothermal therapy induced cell death in cancer.
