Subsequently, she translated her cutting-edge research skills to the molecular biology of diseases. Dr. Sarkar studied the expression of Mucin gene Muc8 and its regulation in cystic fibrosis and lung adenocarcinoma. She investigated the hormonal (Prolactin and placental lactogen) regulation of signal transduction pathways in the liver and researched gene regulation following targeted mutation of a cellular trans-membrane regulator. Continuing her work with the liver and expanding her work to include the kidney, she then studied tissue-specific expression of growth hormone receptor and arrived at a molecular model for the role of growth hormone in the genesis of certain microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus.

Value of DoveMed

The general public has at its disposal a plethora of information on diseases, symptoms and treatments. When it comes to treatments, the medicines that are available for ailments have had to go through a rigorous process to get approval from the FDA. There are several categories of medicines and there is a maze of regulatory pathways a company has to navigate to get final approval from the FDA; the same holds true for medical devices and drug-device combinations. Pharmaceutical companies conduct non-clinical research and follow-up with clinical trials to prove that their product is safe and effective. In this age of globalization, clinical studies are simultaneously conducted at multiple centers worldwide. DoveMed offers a valuable service by keeping track of major studies in the pharmaceutical and medical device world and keeping the general public well informed.
