"hi, how are you?"
This is my new homepage. Welcome but before you start getting all comfy and what have you, this is no ordinary website. It's much simpler than what you expect. It connects you to various channels I'm using, a few of which provide real-time updates. So enjoy.

I've graduated from the University of Brighton in 2008 with a BSc Biomedical Sciences degree. I've met and worked with some of the best people you could come across. Currently I'm working for the National Health Service in a busy south London hospital where I'm getting valuable work experience, which all amounts to help fulfil my strong desire for medicine. Apart from my interest in various parts of medicine (oncology, immunology and genetics), I enjoy running, swimming, jiu-jitsu and travelling.

fundraising
In September 2009, I run Sony Ericsson Run The The Beat for the Wolfson Neuro Rehabilitation Centre. It provides specialist rehabilitation care to patients who have had strokes, traumatic injuries to the brain or spine, anoxic brain damage, diseases or infections of the nervous system, and long term conditions like multiple sclerosis.
I'm committed to raise money for charity to help those destitute by war, environmental disasters and diseases. I aim to get involved and involve my friends, in sports activities such as running marathons, bikathons and anything else that I can come out alive. I will choose a charity that spends 100% of the money to help the needy. Here's a few charities I admire their work.

Title:
Do antimicrobial agents cause
DNA damage in mammalian cells in multipassage culture systems
Abstract:
Antimicrobial agents
had been suspected of causing DNA damage in mammalian cells in
multipassage culture systems. Embryonic mouse fibroblast were
exposed to different antimicrobial agents at normal working
concentrations over a period of 31-days; followed by a separate
experiment involving different concentrations of antimicrobial
agents over 3-consecutive days. Micronuclei formation will be
observed as indicator of DNA damage. Our results show that
antimicrobial agents had varying effect on cell proliferation.
However, induced micronuclei formation was observed in all
samples including the controls. In conclusion, extremely low
frequency electromagnetic force is the strong candidate for
causing micronuclei formation as it affects cell proliferation
and causes DNA damage, through interaction between delayed
activation of p53 protein and antimicrobial agents.
Keywords: DNA damage; Multipassage culture systems; Fibroblasts;
Antimicrobial agents; Micronuclei formation; Cell proliferation.
