Research Project
The research led by Dr. Yuvashree M focuses on the development of nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic disorders such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, and their associated complications. Disease-induced animal models are utilized to assess the efficacy of nanoformulated therapeutics and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms of action. Additionally, the research explores the toxicological impacts of environmental pollutants using animal model systems.
Nanoformulation and its application on nephrotoxicity
