Dear Dr. Solomon
This is to certify that you presented a talk and a Poster on your work entilted “The Role of
Pro‐inflammatory Cytokines and the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and its Receptors in
influencing Lymphangiogenesis in Filarial and Cancer Subjects”. In the Inflammatory Processes
workshop at the 39th Annual Autumn Immunology Conference held in Chicago, IL on 19‐22
November 2010. I congratulate you for presenting your work at such a international forum of
Immunology and I am very much happy that you are the only Indian travelled from India for this
conference.
As I had chaired the session and I had observed that your talk was good in explaining the
conceptual understanding of your work carried out at your place, It was pretty good work to
study and understand the role of Pro-inflammatory cytokines in both lymphoedema cases of
Cancer and Filarial patients, and it was much interesting also to comprehend the functional
roles VGEF factors and its receptors which has promising scope for prophylactic measures and
potential drug targets.
My personal suggestion to you could be, if you could carry out this work in large number of
subjects like 100 patients and seek good funds for supporting your work this could lead to very
good piece of publication in a reasonably good impact factor journal and eventually find out
some lead drug targets for both these chronic pathologies of lymphoedema subjects. I wish you
all the best for your future endeavours of your research work and I wish you carry forward this
good work and accomplish the task of finding a cure to the suffering millions across the globe.
I once again wish you all the best!
