Monika Saini has awarded the SERB Indo-US Post-Doctorate Fellowship to do research in the area of metabolomic study in neural stem cell therapy.

Developing innovative treatments for neural injuries by utilizing in vitro assays and therapeutically relevant animal models.

Studying the potential of transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (iNSCs) in novel pig stroke and traumatic brain injury models.

Studying the regenerative and therapeutic capacities of induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) in both in vitro and in vivo models.

Studying co-implantation of SVF and NSCs into porcine stroke model, non-integrating cellular reprogramming, embryonic stem cell generation from iPSCs from endangered animal fibroblasts in an effort to keep populations from going extinct.

Studying nanoparticle delivery of pharmaceuticals past the blood brain barrier to increase neural stem cell survivability and also M1/M2 inflammatory response mechanisms in a large animal model of stroke.

Investigating the effect of iPSC-derived neural stem cells on post stroke recovery using the pig stroke model.

Studying the survivability of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells in the brain post stroke due to nanoparticle-delivered therapeutics. Also studying the utilization of CS-GAGs as an adaptation of a multi-functional materials-based approach to provide physical support and acute neuroprotection, and promote endogenous...
