PeerJ Editor & Reviewer

Summary

I received my MSc. Degree from Jawaharlal Nehru University, India in 2007 on understanding the role of TBP associated factor 9 (TAF9) in eukaryotic transcription. I completed my Ph.D. training in the laboratory of Prof. Paturu Kondaiah, in 2012, at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, on exploring the mechanism of precancerous oral lesion (OSF and Oral cancer) using gene expression profiling. I also worked on exploring the molecular mechanism of photo dynamic therapy agents in cancer cells. I did my first post doctorate in Dr. Praveen Arany’s lab at NIDCR, NIH on exploring the role of laser mediated phototoxicity involving ER stress and laser mediated wound healing. I am currently doing my second postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Patricia Steeg at NCI in NIH, on exploring the molecular mechanism of metastasis suppressor gene, NM23 in breast cancer metastasis and its possible therapeutic applications.

My current research deals with: 1. Breast cancer Brain metastasis. 2. Establishing Mechanism of Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs) action and its therapeutic potential (Trastuzumab deruxtecan-T-DXd) in Breast cancer Brain metastasis. 3. Molecular Mechanism of Transcytosis in the Blood-Tumor Barrier (BTB). 4. Using in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier to determine the molecular pathways mediating drug permeability into brain and assesses its therapeutic potential in mouse model of breast cancer brain metastases. 5. Exploring the role of metastasis suppressor gene NM23 and its therapeutic applications. 6. Characterization of exosomes and assessing its therapeutic potential.
