With a focus on advancing dental science and clinical practices, she has made significant contributions to her field through research, teaching, and professional development. Her expertise and commitment to dentistry are reflected in her ongoing efforts to improve patient care and educational outcomes within the dental community.

Professional Profile:

Academic and Professional Background:

I hold a DDS, MD, and MSc degrees, with a postgraduate thesis on the “Isolation and characterization of stem cells from minor salivary glands of the oral mucosa and their differentiation into insulin-producing pancreatic cells.” Currently, I am pursuing a PhD focusing on the molecular pathways of pancreatic differentiation in minor salivary gland stem cells. My academic journey includes a two-year residency in pathology and plans for a four-year residency in rheumatology.

Research and Innovations:

  • Daylight Photodynamic Therapy: Successfully completed a project exploring its efficacy in treating actinic cheilitis.
  • Pancreatic Differentiation: Ongoing research on the potential of minor salivary gland stem cells to differentiate into insulin-producing pancreatic cells.

Areas of Research:

  • Photodynamic therapy
  • Daylight photodynamic therapy
  • Actinic cheilitis
  • Human minor salivary gland stem cells
  • Pancreatic differentiation

Contributions:

  • My research has demonstrated that daylight photodynamic therapy can serve as a primary treatment for actinic cheilitis with grade I dysplasia, showing complete clinical response with minimal adverse effects. Additionally, my work has established the potential of minor salivary gland stem cells for pancreatic differentiation, which could advance diabetes mellitus treatments.

ResearchĀ Projects:

  • Dr. Dramit K. Vashishtha has led and contributed to several impactful research projects. As Co-PI, he worked on “Protein engineering of metagenome derived phytases for nutritional quality in staple crops” with DST, Haryana. He secured a grant for Honey Bee Farming at SRM University šŸ and conducted an ethnobotanical study on Ganga river floral diversity šŸŒø. He established Vermi-Composting and Mushroom Cultivation units at MM University šŸŒ±šŸ„. His research includes genetic diversity and bioremediation studies at NIIT University, and high-value nutraceuticals from lactic acid bacteria at Thapar University šŸ§¬. His Ph.D. focused on molecular markers for high phytase levels in wheat šŸŒ¾.

šŸ”¬ Research Focus:

Dr. Dramit K. Vashishtha focuses on biotechnology and agricultural sciences, particularly enhancing nutritional quality and environmental sustainability. His research includes protein engineering of phytases for improving staple crops šŸŒ±, genetic diversity studies for bioremediation of contaminated sites šŸŒ, and high-value nutraceuticals from lactic acid bacteria šŸ¦ . He also explores ethnobotanical uses of floral diversity near the Ganga river šŸŒø and sustainable agricultural practices like vermi-composting and mushroom cultivation šŸ„. His work integrates molecular biology, environmental science, and agricultural biotechnology to address global food security and environmental challenges.
