Identifying novel molecular targets for improving radioprotection and therapeutics using higher eukaryotic cellular models of radioresistance and radiosensitivity

• Understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying intrinsic radioresistance of Lepidopteran insect cells: improving radioprotection
• Cell adhesion and communication mediated molecular mechanisms underlying low-dose radiation hypersensitivity: implication for radiation carcinogenesis, radiation risk assessment and therapeutics
• Developing single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) technique (comet assay) for early detection and improved analysis of cell-death
