Research Interests
Research Interests conduct research on cancer cells, especially prostate and its spread to the bones. To study TGF beta superfamily and their genes and linking it to bone metastasis
Scientific interests
My research interests in general are cancer and bone metabolism.
My research interests are focused on Bone biology and prostate cancer. Current studies are focused on the mechanisms by which prostate cancer cells survive and grow in skeletal metastases. In particular, I am interested in the mechanisms by which TGF beta superfamily practically Noggin suppresses osteoblast differentiation in prostate cancer bone metastases.
Present studies are directed towards the identification of specific molecular mechanisms that are involved in tumour bone interactions and what are the specific pathways that may be affected by these interactions thus targeting these particular genes as new type of therapy.
