Education

PG. Health Studies 2014 - 2015

University of Birmingham

Here, I Investigated the choice pattern of individuals, from their perception of steepness of slant through verbal and visual data collection in men, women, the elderly and the overweight that passed the Faraday Statue, in the University of Birmingham, with the stairs and the ramp. This identified the underlying physiological difference in genders, the decline in leg strength of women, and correlated the available resource (energy expenditure >> energy reserve) of women, the elderly and the overweight to their exaggerated perception of the environment (hill/slope). Which provided more evidence as to why there is a progressive resistance to walking. The aim of this research was to highlight walking, when done frequently with increased intensity, is an effective, readily available means of exercise, with numerous public health benefits.

BSc. Biomedical Sciences 2011 - 2014

University of Middlesex

Project- The Effects of Genistein in Melanoma and Breast Cancer (BSc Thesis) Here I evaluated the effect of genistein on cell cycle, cell proliferation, tubular nature and apoptosis of mutant and wild-type cancerous cells. Adopting the data from a number of research articles on cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation. Along with, statistical analysis with scatterplot to visualize the correlation in mutant and wild-type cancerous cells upon interaction with genistein. Thus, provided more evidence of the therapeutic and preventive nature of genistein founded in soy products and tofu on melanoma and breast cancer cells.
