- Regenerative Biology; Cardiac Repair and Regeneration.
- My interests lie, in understanding the fine-tuned mechanisms of cellular growth, differentiation, and proliferation, encompassing various cell types. At present, my study in regenerative biology involves the use of nanoparticles for the delivery of miRNAs for cardiac muscle regeneration after myocardial injury. Cardiomyocytes are muscle cells of the heart which are terminally differentiated, and responsible for the proper functioning of the heart having limited regenerative potential. Myocardial infarction decreases the population of the cardiomyocytes significantly, which leads to scarring or fibrosis of the heart muscle.
