Co-Principal Investigator: Dr Zeeba S Jairajpuri

Funding: Rs 65 lakhs

Thesis topics of postgraduate students and the subject matter of research undertaken are as follows:

  • Histological characterization of the invasive front in oral carcinoma: Evaluation of the prognostic factors and the role of epithelial- mesenchymal transition
  • Evaluation of apoptotic markers in the spectrum of morphological changes in endometrium in abnormal uterine bleeding
  • EGFR & HER2/NEU Gene expression and its correlation with clinicopathological profile in gallbladder carcinoma
  • Role of morphometry in the cytological evaluation of oral lesions and its diagnostic significance
  • Cytological evaluation of thyroid aspirates using the 2017 Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology with histopathological correlation.
  • Morphometry in the cytological evaluation of breast lesions and its diagnostic significance
  • Evaluation of the utility of IAC standardized Yokohama system for reporting fine needle aspiration cytology of breast lesion.
  • Application of the Milan system of reporting salivary gland cytology and risk stratification by cyto-histological correlation.
  • Study of histochemical and immunohistochemically profile in grading of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.
