Dr. Prakash Baligar did his Ph.D. from Karnataka University, Dharwad, and Postdoctoral Research for 7 years at the National Institute of Immunology (NII), New Delhi. Dr. Prakash joined the Amity Institute of Molecular Medicine and Stem Cell Research (AIMMSCR) in 2015, and his research focus is on Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering. Dr. Prakash flags the major concerns in transplantation medicine to overcome the shortage of donor organs/tissues and their timely availability to treat many diseased/injured patients. Dr. Prakash studied extensively in liver regeneration using stem cell therapy approaches and intended to make partial liver organ by using stem cells and tissue engineering approaches. Thus, his research focuses on stem cell therapy for human degenerative and genetic diseases. Bone marrow stem cell therapy has been shown to improve the pathological consequences of the liver in human α1-antitrypsin deficient mice. Presently, he has been engaged in the development of ex-vivo partial liver organ by using natural scaffold composite and stem cells to replace the damaged liver and it can also be used for many liver drug testing. He is also interested in developing novel skin grafts for burns and bone injury. His long-term goal is to direct differentiation of stem cells into different lineages on a scaffold and ex-vivo organ development by over-expressing/inducing master regulator genes/factors in the stem cells.
