Short Description
I have completed my PhD from Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India, in Biochemistry. During my PhD I worked on the interaction of rat polymorphonuclear leukocyte derived free radical generation and nitric oxide in normal and in various pathological conditions. I have pursued my PDF from National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur, India, where I worked on cytochrome P450. I have publications in national and international peer-reviewed journals.
