ACADEMIC PROJECTS AND TRAININGS
1. Six months Dissertation project carried out under the supervision of Dr. Sasikumar
Menon, Director at S. P Mandali’s Institute For Advanced Research In
Interdisciplinary Sciences, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Laboratory. Sion(E) ,
Mumbai, India, on the topic “Quantification Of Quercetin From Bougainvillea
spectabilis Spps.(Wild And Cultivated) By RP-HPLC-DAD” (2010).
The aim of the project was to
a. Extract and quantify the flavonoid Quercetin from Bougainvillea spectabilis
leaves (cultivated and wild).
b. To develop a simple and rapid method for detection and quantification of
Quercetin from Bougainvillea spectabilis using HPLC.
c. To Study regional variation in the quantity of Quercetin present in wild and
cultivated species.
