This lab is led by Dr. Shiv Kumar Dubey. He has completed his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees at the University of Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh, India, where he also accomplished his Ph.D degree. He pursued his postdoctoral research at the Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology, CNRS, Toulouse, France, and at the University of Michigan Cancer Comprehensive Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

To his credit, he has supervised many student thesis, filed patents, and developed many courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students. He is actively engaged in the areas of advanced biochemistry, chemoprevention, and natural product research. His work has considerably impacted the study of appropriately constructed curcumin bioconjugates, the validation of analytical methods, the effectiveness of nutraceuticals, and the development of their synthetic analogs for the treatment of cancer. His pursuit of bioprospecting of novel natural compounds and their synthetic analogs targeting breast cancer stem cell for cancer chemoprevention and therapeutics is ongoing.
