Current Research Interests
My research interests include systems biology of complex diseases, oncology and cancer biology and development of quantitative experimental methods for systems biology.
My current research focuses on dynamical model of autophagy and its interplay with apoptosis in cancer cells. I have built a mathematical model for autophagy and I have been working on the development of quantitative methods to detect dynamical aspects of autophagic response in cancer cells.
