I am a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the Discipline of Surgery at the Lambe Institute for Translational Research. My work focuses on advancing translational oncology through the integration of molecular biology and clinical insights to improve breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic strategies.

I received my PhD in Biotechnology from the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, India, where my doctoral research, titled “Decoding Cancer Stem Cells in Oral Cancer,” investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer stem cell biology and their role in tumor progression and resistance.

In Ireland, I was involved in a translational research project titled “MicroRNAs for the Stratification of HER2+ Breast Cancer,” as part of the Precision Oncology Ireland-1 Consortium. My ongoing research is supported by funding from the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) and is centered on the identification of non-hormonal cell surface markers and the characterization of microRNA targets involved in breast cancer progression. Through this work, I seek to uncover novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets that can contribute to more precise and effective cancer management.

Translational Cancer Research involving small molecular biomarkers, such as microRNAs and disease specific multi-analytes in circulation for detection, profiling, and stratification of breast cancer. I am also interested in elucidating the role of cancer stem-like cells, associated drug resistance in normal and cancerous mammary epithelium.
