Pushpendra D. Pratap | Molecular Biology | Young Scientist Award Published on 16/09/202517/09/2025 by Young Scientists Awards Dr. Pushpendra D. Pratap | Molecular Biology | Young Scientist Award Research Analyst | Era’s Lucknow Medical College & Hospital | India Dr. Pushpendra D. Pratap, Ph.D., FSASS, FIOASD, FBBS, is a distinguished biochemist and molecular biologist affiliated with ERA’S Lucknow Medical College & Hospital, Lucknow. He completed his doctoral studies under the guidance of Prof. Syed Tasleem Raza, focusing on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cervical cancer, particularly the role of interleukin gene polymorphisms and human papillomavirus (HPV) in disease susceptibility. His research expertise spans molecular biology, cancer genetics, genomics, proteomics, and oxidative stress, with extensive experience in techniques such as ELISA, RT-PCR, UPLC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, and ICP-MS. Dr. Pratap has made significant contributions to understanding cancer pathophysiology, investigating signaling pathways including angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, and cell proliferation across multiple cancers such as cervical, breast, prostate, ovarian, colorectal, and brain tumors. His research integrates translational approaches, aiming to bridge laboratory findings with therapeutic applications. He has supervised undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students, fostering the next generation of researchers, while also contributing to diagnostic advancements including HLA-B-27 and COVID-19 testing. An accomplished academic, Dr. Pratap has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, authored book chapters, and participated in numerous national and international conferences, including poster and oral presentations. He has received recognition for his work, including the International Best Poster Presentation Award. Dr. Pratap also holds fellowships with leading scientific organizations, including the Scholars Academic and Scientific Society, the International Organization for Academic and Scientific Development, and Bose Science Society. Beyond research, he is dedicated to educational mentorship, clinical biochemistry, and personalized medicine. With a career built on innovation, rigorous scientific inquiry, and academic leadership, Dr. Pushpendra D. Pratap continues to advance the understanding of complex biochemical mechanisms and their application in human health. Profile: Orcid Featured Publications Charles, M. R., Raza, S.
