S.S.C from Gujarat State Secondary Education Board -Gandhinagar, Gujarat, in 2008 with 93.38%. Projects & Industrial Trainings M.Sc Dissertation Project : (Duration : One Semester) Project Title: "Influence of Antiestrogen on TGF beta in Breast Cancer " Under the guidance of Dr. Heena Dave at Institute of Science ,Nirma University,Ahmedabad. Brief Description of Project : The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of antiestrogen (Tamoxifen and its metabolite) on Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF 硫) in breast cancer cell line. The ability of antiestrogen to induce TGF-beta in breast cancer cells may be useful to the emergence of drug resistance. So that TGF-beta can be used as Immunotherapeutic drug and as a biomarker. Training : Summer Internship (Duration : One month) Title: "Introduction to Cancer Cell Culturing And Flow Cytometer" Under the Supervision of Dr. Rahul Purwar, at Bioscience and Bioengineering department, IIT Bombay. Brief Description of Training: I have got the hands on training and exposure of overall Research laboratory and its various aspects starting from selection of the antibody to handling Flow cytometer. I worked on the cancer cell lines and have learnt culturing of MCF-7,MDA-MB-231,HeLa cells,SHS- SY-5Y cells.
