Dr. Tanu Allen
Designation: Assistant Professor

Area of Interest: My current research interests and activities are focused on Free radical Biology, Oxidative Stress, Heavy metal toxicity, Ecotoxicology of Arsenic, Assessment of soil, air and water quality, biomonitoring of heavy metals in urine and blood samples and bioleaching of metals from wastewater sludge. Also, to understand mechanistic aspects of metal toxicity as well as oxidative stress in aquatic ecosystems, fish constitute an excellent model of study. Fish, as well as other aquatic plants and animals, are a crucial food source for millions of people throughout the world.
