Since Aug 2019, I am an associate professor at the Stem Cell Institute, Amity Medical School, Amity University Haryana. I am also an honorary adjunct Professor at the School of Biotechnology, Shoolini University, Solan from 2015. Prior of joining Amity, I was an Assistant professor of Biotechnology at the School of Life & Allied Health Sciences, the Glocal University, Saharanpur from 2017-2019. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship from the Moores Cancer Center, University of California, San Diego (Jan 2012-Jan 2017) in the group of Prof(s). Michael D. Burkart, and Januario E. Castro. I earned my PhD in a joint PhD program by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore-Institute of Bioinformatics, Bangalore under the mentorship of Prof. Akhilesh Pandey. During stay at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, I learned cutting edge technology e.g. DNA microarrays, mass spectrometry & cancer signaling, and also worked in a collaborative project on lung cancer signaling with Dr(s). Harold E. Varmus/ Udayan Guha (NCI). During Ph.D. work, I studied the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis in gastro-intestinal cancers using genomics and proteomics approaches with an eventual goal to not only understanding the pathophysiology of the deadly diseases, but also develop agents to target the diseases. Additionally, I am involved in targeting the receptor-ligand axis to overcome the protection by the tumor microenvironment, its relevance in GI malignancies using anti-receptor antibodies/small molecules. Currently, I am an Associate Editor for BMC Cancer since Sep 2019 to present, editorial board member of Annals of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases, Cancer Cell International, BIOCELL, and section editor for Frontier’s section editor for, “Current Proteomics” journal.
In addition, I am ad-hoc reviewer for following journals: Canadian Journal of Medical Associations (CMAJ), Tumor Biology (Springer), Oncotarget, BMC Cancer, Experimental and Molecular Pathology, European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (EJCN) of NPG group, Cancer (Wiley), Journal of Cancer Science and Clinical Oncology (JCS), World Journal of Surgical Oncology, OncoTargets and Therapy, Proteomics - Clinical Applications, Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Treatment, Tumor and Microenvironment, Medical Science Monitor, Indian Journal of Medical Sciences (IJMS), Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, and the Scientific World Journal (TSWJ), Aging, Molecular Biology Reports, Scientific Reports, Journal of Hematology & Oncology, Frontiers in Oncology, BMC Cancer, Cancer Cell International, Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, and Precision Clinical Medicine
