Profile
My research program looks at involvement of non-coding RNAs and associated proteins in stem cell maintenance and also their correlation with HPV-mediated tumorigenesis in cervical cancer. Research also involves elucidation of epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of multidrug resistance of germ cell tumors.
