Welcoming Dr. Priya S to the World of Compassionate Care
Welcoming Dr. Priya S to the World of Compassionate Care
A New Milestone for the Department of Biochemistry at Believers Church Medical College Hospital
In the ever-evolving field of medical biochemistry, every addition of expertise strengthens the foundation of research, diagnostics, and patient care. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Priya S, Senior Resident in the Department of Biochemistry at Believers Church Medical College Hospital. With her extensive knowledge and specialization in genetic and metabolic research, she is set to make a remarkable impact in the field of clinical biochemistry.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Priya S brings in-depth expertise in Karyotyping and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)—two powerful cytogenetic techniques used for genetic diagnosis and research. These methods are essential for identifying chromosomal abnormalities linked to various genetic disorders, congenital conditions, and even cancers.
🔬 Karyotyping: A laboratory technique used to visualize an individual's complete set of chromosomes, helping detect genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome.
🧬 FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization): A more advanced cytogenetic technique that uses fluorescent probes to detect specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, enabling precise identification of deletions, duplications, and translocations associated with diseases like leukemia and genetic syndromes.
Cutting-Edge Research and Publications
In addition to her expertise in cytogenetics, Dr. Priya S is actively involved in clinical research. One of her significant research contributions focuses on:
📊 Serum CTRP3 Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Compared to Healthy Subjects
This study delves into the role of CTRP3 (C1q/TNF-related protein 3), a metabolic regulator, in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). CTRP3 has been gaining attention due to its potential role in:
✔ Improving insulin sensitivity
✔ Reducing inflammation
✔ Regulating glucose and lipid metabolism
Understanding the fluctuations of CTRP3 levels in diabetic patients can help in:
✅ Developing novel biomarkers for early diabetes detection
✅ Assessing metabolic risks in diabetic individuals
✅ Potential therapeutic targets for diabetes management
Her research contributes valuable insights into the metabolic pathways involved in diabetes, a growing global health concern.
The Importance of Biochemistry in Modern Medicine
The Department of Biochemistry plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, monitoring treatments, and pioneering research. With advancements in molecular biology, genomics, and proteomics, the role of biochemists has expanded significantly in personalized medicine and targeted therapies.
With Dr. Priya S joining the team, we anticipate groundbreaking contributions to genetic diagnostics and metabolic research, enhancing patient care and treatment strategies at Believers Church Medical College Hospital.
Looking Ahead: Advancing Research & Clinical Excellence
We extend our warmest welcome to Dr. Priya S and look forward to witnessing her contributions in diagnostics, research, and clinical applications. Her passion and expertise will undoubtedly elevate the standards of biochemical research and patient care.
📢 Stay tuned for more updates on biochemistry advancements, medical research, and healthcare innovations!
