Scientific interest: My research is mainly focused on delineating the mechanistic details of radioresistance in head and neck cancers focusing on DNA damage responses and cancer stem cells that ultimately lead to increased cell survival and radioresistance. We are trying explore the radiosensitizing effect of the small molecules on head and neck cancer cells targeting DNA repair pathways and stemness thereby modulating cell survival and radiation resistance and exploring the associated signaling targets with the ultimate goal of enhancing the therapeutic index.
