Research Projects
Detection of PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS for early PERIODONTITIS management using conventional methods: The detection virulence factors of P.gingivalis by using various nucleicacid hybridization techniques such as PCR (POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION) and Nucleic acid Hybridisation.
Disassociation of antigen antibody complex by using plant extracts: Disassociation of bacteria or any microorganisms attacked the animal or humans, it secrets antigen. We used the
plant extracts (like leaf, flower etc) to disassociate the complex.
Isolation of Plant Genomic DNA from various Rose varieties by using CTAB method: Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide method is widely used for extracting DNA because it is fast, efficient and can yield high quality DNA from many plant species that contain high levels of polysaccharides and secondary metabolites.
Alzheimer’s Disease Neuronal Damage Investigation: Analyzing diffuse plaque morphology and correlation with neuronal degeneration and investigating molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.
