How would you explain your research in 3 sentences to someone who is not in Science?

Dementia is a leading neurodegenerative disease which is untreatable till date. Therefore we want to use an alternative strategy of stem cell therapy using an animal model to study their efficacy in disease treatment and also to better understand about the molecular players involved in reversal of disease condition.

More about you?

Science has been my fascination ever since childhood. I believe in learning which drives me ahead. Truth strengthens my confidence and provides satisfaction in my life. I love to do my work and in the meantime I go for aerobics. I like listening music and singing as well.

About your work

I want to analyze and characterize the population of lineage negative stem cells in umbilical cord blood. After isolation these stem cells will be transplanted to investigate the plausible molecular mechanism behind the rescue of memory loss in amyloid injected mouse model.
