PhD Thesis
Prof. Hiranmoy Das appears to be heavily involved in mentoring and advising graduate students, particularly in the fields related to pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and health sciences. His research likely focuses on advanced pharmaceutical sciences, drug development, and therapeutics. With his role in advising students pursuing PhD and MS theses, his research could be centered around pharmaceutical applications, medicinal chemistry, or pharmacology. Given his involvement in both veterinary and pharmacy programs, his research may also bridge the gap between human and veterinary health, focusing on biomedical sciences, drug formulations, and therapeutics for both sectors. ๐๐๐พ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐จโ๐ฌ
Research Focus
Hiranmoy Das focuses on molecular and cellular biology, particularly related to vascular biology, immunology, and inflammation. His research delves into the roles of Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) in endothelial cells, immune responses, and its regulatory functions in cardiovascular health. He also investigates autophagy, cell death, and ischemic stroke therapies, emphasizing the use of assays for monitoring these processes. His work highlights the role of phytochemicals in cancer prevention and the immune system’s effector functions. Das has made significant contributions to understanding cellular signaling and disease mechanisms, with implications for therapeutic development. ๐ฌ๐๐งฌ๐ซ
