Chanakya University’s School of Biosciences continues to strengthen its research excellence with two prestigious grants awarded under the ANRF Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant Scheme. Dr. Shilpee Jain, Assistant Professor, has secured a ₹62 lakh grant in Life Sciences for her cutting-edge project titled “Dipole-sensitive magnetic nanorobots for label-free targeting of EMT-like circulating tumor cells.” The project aims to advance innovative cancer diagnostics and targeted therapeutic strategies through the development of next generation nanorobotic technologies.
Adding to this achievement, Dr. Preethi Vijayaraghavareddy, Assistant Professor, has been awarded a ₹60 lakh grant in Plant Sciences for her project “Understanding night-time nitrogen flux through integrated physiological and molecular approaches for high-protein rice.” This research is expected to contribute significantly to sustainable agriculture and crop nutritional enhancement by uncovering key physiological and molecular mechanisms that regulate nitrogen utilization in rice. These accomplishments reflect the vibrant research environment at Chanakya University and its commitment to fostering scientific innovation across diverse domains of life sciences.
