About me
- I am currently affiliated with research at the Unit of Biochemical
Toxicology, the Institute of Environmental Medicine. The unit performs
studies to understand the connection between chemicals and cancer. We employ
Text mining-based approach for the analyses of databases and cellular
models to study the mechanisms behind chemically-induced carcinogenesis.
Awardee of NSERC Fellowship for postdoctoral studies in Health Canada 2014
Awardee of HEC Overseas Scholarship for Postgraduate studies 2007-2011
PhD (Toxicology)
Research
- Identification of potential hazards posed by environmental contaminants
through toxicological and mechanistic studies, in parallel with
epidemiological studies is very important in order to establish a link
between exposure and human diseases. The main focus of my research projects
are - * to characterize and investigate the role of oxidative stress in cancer
susceptibility differences between men and women
* use of text mining-based CRAB tool to aid in the process of risk
assessment. https://sites.google.com/site/crabtextmining/home
* to semantically classify the scientific literature according to Hallmarks
of Cancer and literature-based discoveries
Teaching
- In addition to the research activity, I am teaching toxicolgy-related topics
to the students in International Master Program in Toxicology and
Biomedicine, at Karolinska Institutet.
