अनुसंधान हित
The death of the endothelial cell continues throughout the acute phase of the spinal cord injury (SCI), predominantly at the injury epicenter. My major research area is to find the target or NCEs for endothelial protection/stabilization within penumbral microvasculature and preserving the blood-spinal cord barrier integrity. Additionally, I am also evaluated the effect of biomaterials/nanoparticles on injured spinal cord. Additionally, I have vast experience in animal model development in diverse therapeutic areas, including spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathic &inflammatory pain, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis.
