About the UGC-DAE Project
The JRF will be working on a project titled:
“Identification of key cfDNA and exosomal factors in modulating the radiation bystander effect, radio-resistance and senescence development in squamous cells carcinoma.”
This research is aimed at exploring how cancer cells—especially in squamous cell carcinoma—react to radiation. It will study the roles played by cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and exosomal factors in triggering responses not just in directly exposed cells but also in surrounding healthy cells. The findings could have a significant impact on developing more effective radiation therapies and understanding how cancer cells evade treatment.UGC DAE JRF Vacancy 2025
