Our malaria research investigates new target or active antimalarial molecules which can be used for new antimalarial drugs designing or novel candidate for vaccine development. We would also study TRPC channels role in metabolic syndrome and signaling mechanism involved in restenosis using human smooth cells /rat model. Acute promyelocytic leukemia [APL] is a blood cancer usually formed due to chromosomal mutation between chromosome 15 and 17. My research aims for identification of novel and new target in APL using APL cell lines, transgenic, and xenograft mice model through utilization of advance molecular, imaging , and RNAi techniques.
