Alumni Research
Following research has been carried out
Iron Status, Vitamin A Status, Total Energy Intake And Associated Factors Among Female Field Hockey Players
Compromised micronutrient or energy intake can affect aerobic endurance of athletes. The objectives were to assess body mass index, aerobic endurance, iron and vitamin A status and nutritional intake of national level female field hockey players and to identify associations between analyzed parameters.
Following research is being carried out –I am investigating the role of a scaffold protein (AKAP12) in blood vessel development. Scaffolding proteins are important because they are critical regulators of key signaling pathways by providing a framework that organizes signaling proteins into specific complexes in space and overtime, thereby favoring one cellular outcome over the other. Abnormal blood vessel development is the underlying factor in many diseases including ischemia and stroke (vascular insufficiency) and tumor growth and retinopathies (vascular overgrowth).
