Projects
Ex vivo partial liver organ development by using stem cells and tissue engineering approaches(xxxxx)
The liver transplantation is the primary option for patients with acute liver failure or end-stage liver diseases. In spite of surgical advancement, this approach has certain draw backs like limited availability of the donor liver and use of immunosuppressive drugs lifelong. However, till date there is no 3D liver ex vivo model for treating many liver diseases and testing of drugs during the clinical development. Therefore, alternative strategies for the treatment of liver diseases are veryby (DST-SERB)

Ex vivo partial liver organ development by using stem cells and tissue engineering approaches(xxxxxx)
The liver transplantation is the primary option for patients with acute liver failure or end-stage liver diseases. Various surgical options have been followed to increase the supply of liver including split liver transplants and living-related partial donor procedures. In spite of surgical advancement, this approach has certain draw backs like limited availability of the donor liver and use of immunosuppressive drugs lifelong. However, till date there is no 3D liver ex vivo model for treatby (DST-SERB)
Short Description
I did MSc, PhD. from Karnatak university Dharwad, Karnataka. I have about 10 years of research experience in the field of Stem cells and tissue engineering and 3yeras of teaching experience for the PG student of Biotechnology. I have published 18 publications in the peer reviewed journals, 2 chapters in the Book and 1 US patent in the stem cell therapy. Presently, joined as a asst Prof in Amity university on 20 July 2015 and submitted a project proposal to DST-SERB early carrier research grant award on 28 Sept 2015. And I am teaching for the MSc course of AIMMSCR.
