My PhD thesis focused on utilizing multimodal and multiparametric MRI to quantitatively monitor kidney health in a preclinical setting

Design and development of a microfluidic device for quantification of albumin in human urine by reflectance spectroscopy. The project was on a microfluidic based point of care testing device for measuring urine albumin using a novel organic dye, jointly funded by Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India and Indian Council of Medical Research, Government of India
