Summary of Research

  • Identified the genotoxic and carcinogenic risk associated with number of pesticides viz. Mancozeb, Carbaryl, Diuron Thiram, Propoxur, Deltamethrin, Cypermethrin etc using in vivo longterm bioassay and in vitro models and studied their mechanism of action.
  • Studied the cancer chemopreventive potential of phytochemicals namely, Diallyl sulfide, indole-3-Carbinol, resveratrol, Black and green tea polyphenols, Bromelain, Lupeol, etc.
  • Identification and validation of proteomics signatures of carcinogenic pesticides.
  • Plasma Proteomics of breast cancer among North Indian Population.
