00:00In fact, department of radiotherapy is the model department and Professor Mohammad Akram
00:16is the principal investigator of this project and this project is funded by ICMR.
00:23ICMR has funded this project and basically this project is about microbiome,
00:32which is related to the bacteria in our intestines.
00:39In this project, our aim is that during cancer or the therapies used for cancer,
00:58what changes occur in the microbial population, the bacterial population in the intestine
01:06and how they can influence the development of cancer and what can be the influence of probiotics on it.
01:17Because the microbiome in our intestine is necessary for us in a way.
01:27There are good bacteria in it, which you can say are in our symbiotic relationship in the intestine.
01:36And if there is any change in it due to any disease or due to any particular treatment that we are taking,
01:47then there can be some losses.
01:51To avoid it, if we know about it or if we study it properly,
01:58and if we can increase the population of such bacteria in our intestine or you can say in the intestines,
02:05which is beneficial for us, then we can avoid those losses.
02:10That means we can get some positive impact by maintaining the good bacteria in our intestines.
02:18So this project will take us to this direction.
02:25And for this, we have started working on it.
02:29In which we want to see that the probiotic bacteria or the beneficial bacteria for us,
02:37can be used to benefit the cancer patients.
02:42And in what way it can be used, which bacteria can be proved to be beneficial in it,
02:49which can be given to the patients as probiotics,
02:54and with that the patient can get relief from the disease.
03:00The treatment of cancer is done with medicines and expensive medicines.
03:04So after this research, is it possible that the treatment of cancer can be done without medicines and expensive medicines?
03:11Yes, if we can find out such bacteria,
03:14which can be used to reverse the cancer,
03:20then definitely we will get some success in this direction.
03:27But as it is going on now, it is not possible to say at this stage.
03:34But our objective is the same.
