Research Work: - Laboratory of Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy

The immune system can be likened to a sophisticated army, equipped with various tools and mechanisms to protect the body from infections and cancers. However, during tumor development, cancer cells release substances that suppress the immune system, allowing the tumor to grow and spread. To combat this, researchers are focusing on developing immunotherapies that enhance the body's natural defenses against cancer. These immunotherapies target specific pathways involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune suppression. By discovering and studying the effects of natural compounds and plant extracts, scientists hope to develop safe and effective treatments for cancer that can be used in combination with existing therapies. The goal is to improve cancer management, early detection, and targeted drug delivery to prevent the progression of the disease. Our research lab utilizes advanced molecular & immunological techniques.

Research focus of the lab:

We are a dedicated team of researchers focused on understanding the role of the R2TP complex in malignancy. The R2TP complex is a co-chaperone of Hsp90, involved in the assembly and stabilization of various macromolecular complexes in the cell. The interactions and collaborative functions of the R2TP complex with its clients remain poorly understood and unexplored. Our research delves into the molecular associations of the complex whilst cancer progression and how it can potentially be targeted for therapeutic interventions.

Additionally, we explore the functions of tumour suppressors, crucial proteins that play a pivotal role in preventing the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Understanding how these proteins operate and how they can be manipulated is a key aspect of our work.

Furthermore, our lab is also interested in the effects of genetic manipulation in mammalian inner ear cells. This area of research is important for understanding hearing loss and other inner ear disorders, and it has implications for the development of potential treatments.

We are committed to advancing knowledge in these areas and contributing to the development of novel strategies for treatment. To learn more about our ongoing projects and recent discoveries, please email
