Research summary
AI-generated

Garima Baral's recent work focuses on how a cellular enzyme called PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) regulates pancreatic cancer cell behavior, including nutrient uptake processes (macropinocytosis), cell death, and metabolic stress. Earlier work included unrelated topics such as thermostable enzyme characterization from Nepalese geothermal springs and a community health survey on leprosy awareness, suggesting a shift in research focus over time toward cancer cell biology. This research is aimed at understanding potential vulnerabilities in pancreatic cancer that could inform future treatment strategies.
