Research Interest

Projects

Joint projects with IIT MADRAS, Chennai

It was a proud moment for our Institution (SRMC) to be associated in the field of research, with one of the top Institutions in the world, the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Tamil Nadu, India. Joint projects were carried out in the field of urolithiasis and polyurethane double J stents, where research was undertaken to identify and categorize the materials that cause least bacterial colonization.

Under the Principal Investigator, the following research activities were carried out.

1. Coating of bioactive on Polyurethane urinary stent to reduce bacterial adhesion
2. Correlation between clinical and explanted stent characteristics
3. Surface modification of polyurethane stent for better biocompatibility Adsorption of inorganic salts on polyurethane stents
4. Comparison of chemical stone analysis with infrared spectroscopy.

Joint projects with College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University, Chennai

Anna University, Chennai, India, is one of the premier Institutions in this part of the world. In Collaboration with the University, research was undertaken in the field of Renal Cancer, to identify certain Radiological parameters that could help us to make a pre-operative diagnosis of Renal Cell carcinoma.

The research was carried out on: “Texture analysis of Kidney Computed Tomography Images as a new method for assessment of Primary solid renal mass Heterogeneity“.

This research helped us to identify and define certain radiological CT parameters that were helpful in identifying the renal mass as a malignant one, obviating the need for a renal biopsy.

 

The following are the publications made in this field of research:

1. Feature Extraction by Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices Parameters in Computed Tomography of Renal Cell Carcinoma.
2. Feature Extraction of kidney Tumor implemented with Fuzzy Inference System.
3. Texture analysis of Kidney Computed Tomography Images: a new method for assessment of Primary solid renal mass Heterogeneity – a prospective study.

Ongoing Projects

Varicocele has been one of the surgically correctable causes of Male Infertility. Oligospermia in patients with varicocele has been very well documented. Improvement in Seminal parameters after Surgical Varicocelectomy has always been an uncertainty. The following research works, in collaboration with the Department of Human Genetics of SRMC, Chennai, India, is being carried out in the Infertile population, to identify certain predictive factors that could prognosticate the outcome in such patients pre-operatively.

The following research projects are in progress:

1. Polymorphism analysis in Estrogen receptors alpha and Beta genes and their association with infertile Indian population
2. Y chromosome microdeletions in sperm and blood DNA of infertile patients from South India.

The research project on Cancer Prostate is done by the Department of Biomedical Sciences, SRMC, Chennai, India, in Collaboration with Dept of Urology. This study is being done to identify the anti-cancer property of certain plant extracts against the prostate cancer cell lines.

3. Research guide for Anti-cancer activity of the Bacoside enriched extract against Prostate Cancer Cell lines.
4. Comparison of T-UAS and FANS in Renal calculi between 10 and 20mm – Dr. Hariharasudhan S.
