Prior to joining NIT, she worked in temporary positions as part-time and guest lecturer at Darrang College and Rajib Gandhi University, Arunachal Pradesh, respectively. She obtained her PhD from the Department of Biotechnology and Molecular Biology (MBBT), Tezpur University, Napaam, Assam working on the topic &#8220;Evaluation of nutritional potential of some aquatic weeds of North-East India for formulation of fish-feed for Indian Major Carps&#8221; under the guidance of Professor&nbsp;A.K. Mukherjee, presently the Director of IASST, Guwahati, Assam.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She has been working on different projects targeting the medicinal plants of Arunachal Pradesh. Her main subject of research is biochemical, nutritional and pharmacological characterization of the ethno-medicinal plants. She has already completed seven extramural projects funded by different funding agencies including DBT Twinning, DST ECR, IERP MOEF and DST NECTAR. So far, she guided three PhD scholars and has three national and international patents to her credit. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dr. Kalita Hui was awarded the DST Early Career Award (DST ECR) in the year 2017. She was also awarded a fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, New Delhi under the \u201cWomen Scientist Scholarship Scheme for Societal Programmes (WOS-B) in the year 2008\u201d. She also received the UGC-RGU sponsored \u2018Overseas Conference Fellowship\u2019 to present a paper in the international conference \u2018Aquaculture Europe 2007\u2019 held at Istanbul Expo Centre, Istanbul, Turkey, from 24<sup>th <\/sup>&#8211; 27<sup>th<\/sup> October 2007. She also received the UGC-CPEB II (RGU) sponsored \u2018Overseas Conference Fellowship\u2019 to present another paper in the International Conference of Food and Agricultural Engineering (ICFAE) organized by the International Scientific Committee, World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET), Connecticut, CT 06878, USA and held at Miami (Florida) USA from 10<sup>th<\/sup> to 11<sup>th<\/sup> March 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Currently she is working on a DST-SERB POWER project targeting Breast Cancer. The topic of her recent Project is \u201cEvaluation of biochemical, pharmacological characterization of preclinical purity, safety and potency of <em>Paris polyphylla<\/em>, an ethnomedicinal plant from Arunachal Himalayas against breast cancer\u201d. Under this project, a few bioactive compounds have already been isolated, characterised and purified from the medicinal plant after molecular dynamic simulation studies against the breast cancer receptors, ER\u03b1, EGFR, HER2 and stomach cancer receptor, VEGFR2. Biopolymer based nanoparticles have also been prepared with the purified bioactive compounds of the plant. Cytoxicity assessment, gene expression studies of the nanoparticles and finally gene sequencing studies of the nanoparticles are also in process, targeting discovery of the novel compounds for treatment of breast cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/babrone.avfu.ac.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pallabi_Kalita_Hui.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pallabi Kalita Hui &nbsp; Dr. Pallabi Kalita Hui is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology in National Institute of Technology (NIT), Arunachal Pradesh.
