Research Cluster Overview

Research Cluster: Life-Centricity, Health, and Wellbeing
Topic: Animal and Medical Biotechnology
Theme: SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing

This cluster focuses on strategies in cancer biology, haematology, genetics, and nanotechnology. Research includes regenerative medicine, disease modeling, antioxidant therapy, bioactive compound benefits, and nanomedicine for targeted drug delivery. Computational biology tools like MEGA and WebGro help explore disease pathways. Drosophila models aid in studying development and genetics.

Research Focus Areas

• Regenerative medicine & cancer biology for disease modeling and translational approaches
• Haematology research for blood diseases and antioxidant-based therapies
• Bioactive compounds for anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing uses
• Genetic variation studies for early diagnosis and personalized medicine
• Nanomedicine with drug-loaded nanoparticles for targeted delivery
• Computational biology for phylogenetic and sequence analysis

Expected Outcomes

• Improved blood banking practices
• Disease modeling strategies
• Development of nano-encapsulated bioactive compounds
• Evolutionary study of novel DNA/protein sequences using bioinformatics
