Tropical fruit lovers are invited to Siyaram Pandey’s annual mango party
Donna and Dave Couvillon listen to a presentation Tuesday.
UWindsor biochemistry researcher Siyaram Pandey has the official go-ahead to test dandelion root extract as a treatment for patients with terminal cancer. Dr. Pandey and his student researchers have successfully shown in the lab how the extract causes cancer cells to go through apoptosis, or cell suicide, while leaving healthy cells alone.
“This is fantastic news,” says Pandey. “We’ve been waiting for this announcement for a long time and now it is real.”
Biochemist Siyaram Pandey will discuss his investigation of the cancer-fighting potential of long pepper extract Wednesday on “Research Matters.”

Biochemistry PhD student Pam Ovadje and third-year undergrad Daniel Tarade recently presented their research at the Natural Health Products Research Society annual conference in British Columbia and came home with top honours in the oral and poster presentation competitions.
Assisted suicide is topic guaranteed to court all kinds of controversy.
However one place where you’ll get general consensus on the matter is among the students working in the biochemistry lab of Siyaram Pandey, where rather than people, they help cancer cells commit suicide.
“One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is that they forget how to die,” says third-year undergrad Daniel Tarade. “We’re forcing their hand, and causing them to commit suicide.”
