In the field of “Stem Cell Biology” the research group of
Dr(s) Bipasha Bose and Sudheer Shenoy P (Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine
Centre), Yenepoya Research Centre, Yenepoya University, Mangalore, India offers
the following JRF/Ph.D. projects:
- Evaluation
for the existence of CD34+/CD45- stem cells in all
three germ layers and the use of cells for cell therapy applications in mouse
models of muscular dystrophy
- Pure
populations of Ocular stem cells and their molecular responses and salvage
from chemicals and UV radiation
induced damages
- Differentiation
of pluripotent stem cells into pancreatic β islets using bioactive lipids
- Breast
and colon cancer stem cell therapeutics
Description:
From the
perspective of cell therapy and understanding the basic biology of adult stem
cells and cancer stem cells, these projects aim to establish the basic
molecular mechanisms for adding to the broad knowledge database. The Principal
Investigators of these projects have extensive training from various
international laboratories and have proven track record of their research. Prior publication of the PIs can be
found at
The details about the “Stem Cells and Regenerative
Medicine Centre” is available on https://yenepoya.res.in/stem-cells-and-tissue-engineering/
Various techniques that these projects will utilize
for addressing the pertinent questions involve culturing of stem cells, MTT
assay, fluorescence activated cell sorting of
stem cells, analytical flow cytometry, qRT-PCR gene expression analysis,
western blotting, mouse models of muscular dystrophy and cell transplantation.
