Soundarapandian Kannan
Senior Professor Department of Zoology · Periyar University
Research Interests
Wound healing and Tissue engineering
Biography
After having more than a decade of teaching and research experience in colleges, assumed charge as Assistant Professor in Bharathiar University, Coimbatore (from 2009- Aug. 2013), he had joined the Department of Zoology, Periyar University, as Professor and Head and serving in this position till date. His research interest contributes in the development of enhanced smart gene/drug delivery system to target cancers which is appreciated by publishing research papers in high impact journals with good number of citations. Interestingly, after having research training in Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts Institute of Technology on 3D Cell Biology and bioprinting, he geared-up his research in post operated-surgical cancer wound healing and its immunological interference by converting M1 Macrophages into M2 Macrophages. The research activities of Prof. S.K brought a novel input to biomedical sciences that site specific anticancer agent delivery to target breast and colo-rectal cancers.
Education
Dr. S.Kannan’s research group contributed in the development of smart phyto-drug delivery system to target cancers. The preliminary study has mainly focused on development of therapeutic agents for lung, breast, colon, cervical cancers, with enzyme targets, namely cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) and Cyclooxygenase (potential cancer biomarkers) (Sundarraj et al., 2014; 2015). Later the identified phytochemicals and anticancer drugs are prominently delivered into cancer cells using nano-biopolymers and its composites. The main objective of his lab is to target cancer at proteomic and su...
