Technologies Developed/ Patents Granted (if any):

•  Isolation, culture and characterization of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissues. These cells are further cultured and grown in in vitro condition and used for treatment of animals. Treatment of wound, paralysis, fracture, mastitis, endometritis and cancer of animals using these mesenchymal stem cells and treated the animals.
 
• Generation of oocytes from embryonic stem cells and iPS cells. These in vitro produced oocytes were further parthenogenetically activated and produced blastocyst in in vitro condition
