Education
Dr. Abhishek Bansal’s educational journey is marked by rigorous academic training in medical biochemistry. He completed his Ph.D. in Medical Biochemistry at Malwanchal University, Indore in 2024, where his research focused on the evaluation of biomarkers for chronic kidney disease, a project supervised by Dr. Shreya Nigoskar. His M.Sc. in Medical Biochemistry was awarded by Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, KAHER, Belagavi in 2020. His master’s thesis explored the correlation between plasma ascorbate levels and Type 2 diabetes management, supervised by Dr. Chetana P. Hadimani. Dr. Bansal’s foundational training began with a B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology from MM(DU), Mullana, Haryana in 2016, where he was introduced to clinical laboratory technologies and methodologies. This combination of academic rigor and hands-on research experience has equipped him with a comprehensive understanding of medical biochemistry and clinical diagnostics.
Research Focus
Dr. Bansal’s research is deeply rooted in the intersection of clinical biochemistry, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and kidney disorders. His research interests are specifically concentrated on identifying novel biomarkers that could improve the early detection, diagnosis, and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic diseases. He is particularly interested in molecular signaling pathways and their alterations in chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and kidney dysfunction. Dr. Bansal’s recent work has led to an exploration of human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) as promising biomarkers for CKD, which could significantly improve clinical outcomes through early intervention.
Experience
Dr. Bansal has accumulated diverse teaching and research experience in academic and clinical settings. He began his teaching career as a Tutor/Demonstrator in the Department of Biochemistry at Government Medical College, Rajouri (Aug 2021 – Apr 2022), where he helped students understand clinical biochemistry concepts and laboratory techniques. He later joined Pt. BDS PGIMS, Rohtak, where he continued in a similar role, further honing his teaching and research skills. Since June 2024, Dr. Bansal has been serving as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at The Oxford Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Bangalore. In this position, he teaches undergraduate and postgraduate students, mentors research projects, and contributes to departmental initiatives in medical research.
