I studied Biotechnology at VIT and I did my final year BTech project at the Stem Cell Laboratory at IIT Madras. The thesis/report was titled:
In Vitro Studies on the Transport of Nanoemulsified LI01008 (A Novel Drug Candidate) Through Human Alveolar Epithelial Type-II Cells (A549)
You asked for it.
