[ 23/09/2019 – 16/07/2021 ] M.PHIL. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics University of the Punjab http://www.pu.edu.pk
Address: Quaid e Azam Campus, Lahore, 54000, Lahore, Pakistan Final grade: 3.86/4.0 Thesis: Evaluation of bacteriophage and stem cell condition medium to heal wounds in diabetic mice
Short Description of Thesis
In this project bacterial strains were isolated from diabetic pus samples and identified through different biochemical and morphological tests. Then to treat the bacterial infection bacteriophage were used and activity of bacteriophage was checked by spot assay and plaque assay. Then to proceed this experiment in-vivo study was designed, in which diabetes was induced in mice and then wound was generated through biopsy punch and infect with bacterial strain (S.aureus) and then bacterial infection was treated with bacteriophage and for healing purpose stem cell condition medium was used. M.Sc. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics
