C. Research Experience
1. Clinical audit:
Performed clinical audit on collecting gingival crevicualr fluid (GCF) and tissue
biopsies from periodontitis patients prior to and after the perio-surgical treatment for
research on PLUNC proteins. Meetings were held on a regular basis with Professor
Gareth S. Griffiths, at Charles Dental Hospital, discussing about the best possible
ways of collecting GCF using perio-papers, storing them whislt preserving the
samples so that the proteins in GCF will not be denatured and collecting the gingival
tissue biopsies for immune staining. Was successful in maintaining the patients
records and minimizing the wastage of resources (patient’s samples).
2. MSc Thesis:
Effects of Silencing FOXM1 Oncogene by RNA interference on Oral Squamous
Cell Carcinoma Keratinocytes
FOXM1 is a transcription factor important for the regulation of cell cycle, cell
division, genomic stability, ageing and development. Upregulation of FOXM1 has
been reported in majority of human cancers including Oral cancer. Ectopic expression
of FOXM1 in oral keratinocytes has been shown to enhance malignant transformation
following carcinogen exposure. My study investigated the cellular and molecular
effects of silencing endogenous FOXM1 using RNA interference on Oral cancer cell
lines. For this purpose, I learnt and employed a wide range of techniques including
cell culture, Lipophilic gene delivery (transfection), RNA interference using short-
hairpin RNA vectors (shRNA), Luciferase reporter assay, Live-cell fluorescent
microscopy and digital densitometry imaging, MTT Assay, Alamar Blue assay, PCR,
Pixel Analysis, Western blotting. I got distinction for this project and my supervisor
is planning to publish my findings along with his work in an international journal in
future.
