Redox Laboratory

Our research is centered on investigating the metabolic alterations triggered by Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS) in both solid tumors and blood-related cancers.
Currently, we are engaged in the validation and characterization of metabolic genes involved in heme, lipid, and amino acid pathways as potential targets for cancer therapy.

Furthermore, our laboratory is exploring the application of cold atmospheric plasma (4th state of matter), to develop innovative medical treatment strategies through precise delivery of RONS.

Team

The Redox Lab is currently composed of research scholars funded by the SRIHER Chancellor Research Fellowship, DBT Junior Research Fellowship, and DST Inspire Fellowship.

  • Roopak Murali: Amino acid metabolism in cervical cancers.
  • Pooja Singh: Oxidant-induced metabolic alterations in acute leukemia.
  • Devi M: Cold plasma in wound healing.
  • Lavanya J: Cold plasma in cancer.

We are presently in the process of seeking out highly skilled individuals who have attained their Master’s degree to join our team and contribute to the development of innovative ideas related to cold plasma therapy.
