THRUST
AREA
Division of Histopathology and
Cytopathology
Histopathology: Pediatric tumours, liver
pathology, skin pathology, immunohistochemistry as applicable for diagnosis
of various types of malignancy and gallbladder neoplasia.
Division of Haematology
Haematology: Anaemia with special reference
to heamolytic anaemia, leukemias and Bleeding & coagulation disorders
especially investigating hemophilia and allied disorders along with recent
investigation on idiopathic thrombophilia.
Division of Immunopathology
(a) In Autoimmunity research is going on rheumatic diseases,
autoimmune thyroid and hepatic disease
(b) Tumour marker especially in Carcinoma Prostate, Hepatoma, Carcinoma
Lung, GIT and Gall Bladder Carcinoma and Multiple Myeloma.
(c) Transplantation immunology - Tissue typing and cytokines are being
done, Infectious diseases.
(d) Immunohistochemistry
PLAN OF ACTION
Division of Histopathology and Cytopathology
- Histopathology and Cytology sections
efforts for establishing Immuno-histochemistry for the diseases of undifferentiated
tumours and Lymphomas is going on.
Division of Haematology
- Enhancement of leukemia research
by starting immuno-phenotyping and cytogenetics, which is prerequisite
for bone marrow transplantation.
- High performance liquid chromatographic
studies (HPLC studies) for variant hemogloinopathies.
- Bleeding and coagulation disorders with special
reference to Antiphospholipid antibodies and Hypercoagulable states.
Division Of Immunopathology
- Immunopathology unit has planned
to develop molecular Immunopathology for diagnosis of tumour, and infectious
disease and tissue typing for solid order transplantation by PCR and
for seeing the molecular variation in HLA antigen by PCR in various
diseases.
- Immunophenotype of lymphocyte in
diagnosis of immunodeficiency diseases by flow cytometry and cross matched
test by flow cytometry which is more sensitive method for renal transplantation.
- Development of automatic ELISA test
by automatic ELISA reader.
- Development of myeloma typing by
immunofixation for routine testing.
