I have completed my MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar. Following this, I successfully completed my internship and residency program. Thereafter, I passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Subsequently, I completed my MS in Neuro Cell Surgery at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bangalore. Currently, I am engaged in research with a focus on Cancer Cells, specifically Breast Cancer. My research involves genetic and DNA engineering with CRISPR technology, a rapidly advancing field with numerous potential applications. Here are some key areas of my research: ### Key Areas of Research: 1. **Metastatic Breast Cancer** Research is also focusing on metastatic breast cancer, which spreads to other parts of the body. New therapies and treatment strategies are being developed to manage and treat metastatic disease, improving the quality of life and survival rates for patients. 2. **Early Detection and Screening** Researchers are continuously working on enhancing breast cancer screening methods. Technologies like 3-D mammography (tomosynthesis) and MRI are being studied to improve early detection rates and reduce false positives. Studies like the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) are comparing the effectiveness of 3-D mammography with traditional 2-D mammography. 3. **Gene Therapy** CRISPR technology is being used to develop treatments for genetic disorders by correcting mutations at the DNA level. Studies focus on diseases like sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington's disease. 4. **Cancer Research** Researchers are using CRISPR to modify immune cells to better target and destroy cancer cells. This approach, known as CAR-T cell therapy, shows promise in treating various types of cancer. 5. **Biomedical Research** CRISPR is a valuable tool for studying gene function and developing disease models. It allows scientists to create precise genetic modifications in animal models to study disease progression and treatment. 6. **Epigenome Editing** Beyond cutting DNA, CRISPR can alter the chemical modifications of DNA, affecting gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself.
