Kushal Kandhari PhD

I have two main areas of interest.1. Chemical agent-induced toxicity 2. Cancer Biology
My current research focuses on the development of a comprehensive understanding of the vital signaling pathways and mechanisms involved in chemical agent-induced toxicity in different organs (ocular, skin, lungs, etc.) and their mitigation using novel small molecules. My other area of research focuses on targeting cancer and its microenvironment and understanding the underlying mechanisms of cancer metabolism and metastasis. During my Ph.D., my research focused on elucidating the mechanism of action of cell death and restricting tumor growth in in-vitro models of breast cancer by dietary phytochemicals.
