KaviKrishna Laboratory

KaviKrishna Lab is a not for profit SIRO certified research organisation focusing on Stem Cell Altruism Research. The idea of stem cell altruism is based on Vedic philosophy of AvatarVada Theory; like the individuals cells also reprogram to a Avatar (more powerful) cell when there is any stress or infection in the body either triggered by pathogens or cancer cells. These Avatar Cells or Reprogrammed cells are called Altruistic Stem Cells which activate a stem cell niche defense mechanism to protect their niche from stress. We are trying to develop therapeutics and diagnostics against cancer and TB utilising the mechanism of stem cell niche defense. The altruistic stem cells were reported by Dr. Bikul Das in embryonic stem cell population in the year 2012. This lab for the first time reported that TB bacteria remain dormant inside bone marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) even after successful anti-TB treatment for decades (Das B et al, Science Translational Medicine, 2013).
