OBJECTIVES

1. • To investigate new alternative cancer therapies using the developments in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. 
   

2. • To improve our technology of Polypurine Reverse Hoogsteen hairpins (PPRHs) for gene silencing, gene repair, gene editing and as biosensors for diagnostics
   

3. • To explore new delivery systems for oligonucleotide transfection in vitro and in vivo
   

 

RESEARCH INTERESTS

1. •   Design and usage of polypurine hairpins against gene expression: Studies in vitro and in vivo
   

2. •   Explore the usage of new liposomes, gold nanoparticles and AAV particles to deliver the PPRHs.
   

3. •    To repair DNA mutations at the endogenous locus using Polypurine Hairpins.
   

4. •    To investigate the role of alternative splicing on the expression of proteins.
   

5. •    Usage of aptamers to deliver gene therapy molecules to target cells. 
   

6. •    Genomic studies related to Methotrexate resistance. 
   

7. •    Networking of differentially expressed genes in methotrexate resistant cells.
