HYDROGEL SCAFFOLDS

Built Polysaccharides hydrogel beaded scaffolds and optimized the building conditions for the same. The non- toxic scaffolds were then implanted in mice skull model for drug delivery to test the drug’s bone regeneration ability the scaffold itself when a circular shaft of more than 2mm drilled into a mice skull.

Performed decalcification and storage parts of mice skull. Then created wax blocks using a HistoEmbedder and evaluated and wrote a protocol on the Histo-Embedder for regular lab use.

Monitored the impact of oxaloacetate ions, on breast cancer tumor microenvironment to test the hypothesis of whether breast cancer is primarily metastasis to bone cancer.

Maintained laboratory records and stored sacrificed mice bones.
