Ajay Kumar Pal

I am a Ph.D. research scholar working on breast cancer in which I am repurposing melatonin receptor agonists for their anticancer activity both in vitro and in-vivo against breast cancer. I have published 8 publications with three research articles, 2 reviewers, and 3 book chapters.

My primary focus is the inhibit the Pan-oncogenes regulating EMT and angiogenesis pathways in breast cancer cells and tumor microenvironment.
