A 33-year-old research associate with Ahmedabad University’s School of Arts and Sciences will work on developing a non-invasive saliva-based test for early detection of oral cancer.

“The study aims to identify cfDNA fragmentation patterns from saliva and plasma of oral cancer patients and investigate whether these fragments can be used for early detection,” says Shanaya Patel Bakeri, who has been working on oral cancer since 2011.
