Dr. Lakshmanan Govindan

I have worked as co-author and published more than 11 book chapters, filed 2 patents (Application Number: 201941027467 and 201941027468; Filed date: 09/07/2019; Publication date: 02/08/2019), and peer reviewed journal articles (20) and presentations in scientific conferences. My research work is mainly focused on “Micropropagation and anticancer activity of methanolic extract of Plumbago auriculata, Cleome viscosa and its various biological activities”. I had experienced in isolation, identification and purification of bioactive compounds and performed biochemical characterization by using various spectral techniques (UV, TLC, FTIR GC-MS, NMR (1H and 13C). I also worked on anticancer properties from medicinal plants by using different cancer cell lines (MTT assay, fluorescent microscope, DNA Fragmentation, Western blot, RT-PCR). I have also gained experience in phytochemistry, synthesis of silver nanoparticles from medicinal plants, application of synthesized nanoparticles by using antimicrobial activities and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) along with larvicidal activities. The bioactive compounds identified using these processes can be developed into potent drugs and can be utilized in many clinical trials.
