Many congratulations to Ms. Harsh*ta Tiwari (DBT-JRF), a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Dr. Vibhav Gautam at CEMS, for publishing a part of her doctoral research in the prestigious journal RSC Advances, entitled “Fabrication of Methotrexate-Conjugated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for the Evaluation of Cytotoxic Potential at the Biochemical and Molecular Level Modulating BAX, BCL-2 and Telomerase Expression.”

This study was a collaborative effort between IMS-BHU and IIT (BHU), reflecting a strong interdisciplinary research partnership. The findings demonstrate that MTX-MWCNTs effectively induce apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis while maintaining significant biosafety, underscoring their promise as an emerging nanoscale platform for targeted cancer therapy.

Ms. Harsh*ta Tiwari has also been honored with the Best Oral Presentation Award for presenting this work at the Third Rencontres de Quy Nhon: International Workshop on Molecular Diagnostics in Microbiology and Diseases, held from December 11–13, 2025, at ICISE, Quy Nhon, Vietnam.
