Nilakshi S. Patel, a dedicated PhD Senior Research Fellow specialises in Biotechnology and is passionate about advancing pediatric cancer treatment through innovative research. Her current work focuses on understanding the impact of early-life chronic moderate protein-deficiency malnutrition on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and exploring potential mitigation strategies using clinically relevant preclinical cancer models. With a strong focus in cancer pharmacology, nutritional oncology, and translational therapeutics, she aims to enhance treatment outcomes and quality of life for malnourished pediatric cancer patients undergoing dox-based chemotherapy. Nilakshi's commitment to translational research is fuelled by her desire to contribute meaningfully to humanity.
