MAJOR RESEARCH INTEREST
Breast Cancer, Preterm Birth, Organochlorine Pesticides, Oxidative Stress, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Metals, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Overview of Research Experiences:
I am working as Assistant Professor in National Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, India. I have twelve years of research experience in toxicology as evident from publications (30 Papers) in human toxicology, target enzyme interaction, monitoring and health risk assessment. My research focused on environmental toxicants such as organochlorine pesticides, metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related oxidative stress possibly involved in associated health risks among exposed human population, especially women and children.
