During the last decade following her instincts, she has taken up several projects related to human health, for ‘War against Cancer’ she has contributed in the field of Biomarkers in Breast cancer, Leukaemia, and Head and Neck cancer. Her work on SNPs of drug metabolizing genes in cancers has been published in peer reviewed journals, unfolding the mechanisms of several genes and other genes which network with these genes, elucidated Drug-Gene interactions. She has also contributed on the role of some signalling pathways such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and MAPK in hematological malignancies and HNC.

She is a life member and Fellow of several Indian Academies and societies. Recognizing the need for a model in drug- development, she worked on the polymorphisms of drug metabolizing genes and their significance in determining the chemo regimen for therapeutic applications. She has an US patent for her work on ALL as a model for cancer care. She is the recipient of Life time achievement award from the Governor of AP&TS.
