Title of Ph.D. Thesis: “Role of estrogen in spermatogenesis: A comparative study using a mammalian and reptilian model”

Brief Description of work done: The aim of the study was to understand the way estrogens modulate reproductive processes in adult male and whether or not such responses are evolutionarily conserved but also to identify mechanisms/modes or interventions that would counteract the deleterious effects induced by exogenous estrogens.

Mentored project titled “Herbal Remedies for Covid- 19: Perception and Self-Use” under the Summer Internship Programme 2019, Maitreyi College, University of Delhi
