Biography
Jagat R Kanwar is the Head of the Nanomedicine and Laboratory of Immunology and Molecular Biomedical Research and has an international reputation in investigating fundamental and applied molecular aspects of cancer and chronic inflammation. He also vested the molecular diagnosis including role of a non-invasive exosomes in blood, inflammatory sites and cancer tissues. His research focused on cancer and inflammatory autoimmune diseases aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in apoptosis, autophagy and inflammation by targeting the production of cytokines, chemokines, oxygen radicals and matrix metalloproteinase. His research also aims to investigate the nanotherapeutics encapsulating peptides, LNA modified aptamers/miRNAs/siRNA in vivo models. He has made significant progress in field of ocular drug delivery and microfluidic and Lab-on-a-Chip devices techniques for cancer cells as well as stem cell capture, disease specific biomarkers and exosomes. His publications are more than 150 research papers and have added to the body of knowledge in the fields of nanobiotechnology, cancer gene therapy, cell biology and immunology. His research work has generated a total of 12 patent/PCTs. He is the member of various scientific committees and societies .
