RESEARCH PROJECTS/ PRACTICALS
Year TITLE
Title: - “Investigation into differentiation of cells in three dimensional constructs in vitro” under Prof.
Stefan Przyborski at University of Durham.
• Successfully cultured EC stem cells on novel 3D scaffolds...
• Determined the optimal seeding density for the novel scaffolds.
• Measured the optimal seeding density for the scaffolds.
• Highlighted that cells exhibit better growth in 3D environment as compared to 2D.
Title: - “Effect of Fixatives and Tissue Processing on the Content and Integrity of Nucleic Acids” under
Prof. Alan Curry at University of Central Lancashire.
• Determined the optimal fixative to be used for tissue processing
• Carried out successfully DNA, RNA isolations, purification and quantification.
