Summary:
A professor of the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, has bagged the prestigious Ramanujan fellowship to work on programming stem cells to develop healing technologies for Alziehmers, Parkinson's. An assistant professor in biological engineering at IITGn, Bhatia has been awarded the fellowship by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). I will now further my research on DNA nanodevices to program stem cells for regenerative medicine and biomedical applications. After spending five years in Europe, professor Dhiraj Bhatia has come back to India to research further on DNA nanodevices to programme stem cells for regenerative medicine and biomedical applications. I'll also focus on understanding membrane traffic in stem cells which will help to design strategies for programming stem cells for therapeutic applications like developing healing technologies for diseases such as Alziehmers, Parkinsons and Spinal-Cord Injury," Bhatia said..
