A conversation with Dr. Ajaykumar A. P., Associate Professor of Zoology at Sree Neelakanta Government Sanskrit College, Pattambi (University of Calicut), and his research scholar Veena Venugopal, to explore three remarkable scientific findings hiding in Kerala's own backyard. 1. Spider Venom & Cancer Research : The venom gland of the social spider Stegodyphus sarasinorum, studied through multi-omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and Confocal Raman mapping, revealing bioactive compounds with potential relevance to cancer research. 2. The Pill Millipede & the Lotus Effect : The self-cleaning "Lotus Effect" on the exoskeleton of the pill millipede Arthrosphaera lutescens, and what its nano-scale surface architecture could inspire in materials science. 3. The Mupli Beetle & Green Nanotechnology : How the defensive secretion of the "Mupli beetle" (Luprops tristis), collected without harming the insect and is being used to biosynthesize silver, nickel, and copper-oxide nanoparticles, and even few-layer graphene, with antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. 4. The Bigger Picture: Importance of Kerala's Biodiversity This is a story about how classical zoology, green nanotechnology, and cancer biology are converging, and how patient, ethical, low-cost research from a small Kerala college is being published in journals like Scientific Reports, RSC Advances, and Scientific Data. *Disclaimer: The anticancer and antibacterial findings discussed are laboratory (in vitro) results only. They are not approved treatments or cures. Please consult a medical professional for any health concerns.
