  3. Fluorescence Microscope, DeWinter
  4. Geldoc System, Bio-Rad
  5. CO2 incubator, ESCO


Scope of Activity:

  • Diagnostics: Real time PCR test/ Molecular test for EGFR exon study
  • Research: Various projects are being carried out in majorly three malignancies i.e. Breast Cancer, Oral cancer and lung cancer. The research activities mainly involve studies of stem cell pathways, signal transduction pathways, Genetics, epigenetics, mutational analysis, proteomics and DNA damage and repair mechanism.
  • Academics: All three faculties are involved in the lectures, practical and examination duties of M.Sc. cancer biology course and training the DM Oncopathology students for molecular biology techniques
  • Currently three PhD students are registered under Dr. Franky Shah (Guide: Ph.D. (life science)) .

Strength / Workload: 240 to 260 patients came for EGFR mutation test every year

Diagnostic : Molecular test for EGFR exon study for the lung cancer patients

Area of Interest: The group is keenly interested in studying the various stem cell related pathways and the mechanism for therapy resistance, epigenetics involved in the cancer development and progression, molecular pathogenesis of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, signal transduction pathways and their interactions circuits, and DNA damage and repair mechanism involved in cancer development and advancement.
