Dr.Surekha Bhat is
presently the Associate Professor in Biochemistry at the Faculty of Medicine,
AIMST university, Malaysia. She has taught Chemistry and Biology to premedical
students and is currently teaching Biochemistry to MBBS students in her
institute. She graduated with a B.Sc (Botany, Zoology, Chemistry) from
Her interest in
pyramids made her pursue scientific research studies on pyramids modeled after
the Great Pyramid of Giza. In June 2005, MAHE awarded her a Ph.D for her
thesis entitled “Alterations in the
status of oxidative stress and antioxidant profile in rats housed in pyramid
model”
She has published

of pyramid therapy on body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and serum
alkaline phosphatase in women with infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the
breast” an armchair research project by post graduate students of
Medical Laboratory technology, Manipal college of allied health sciences,
Manipal
