Bio

My area of research is focused on various horizons of plant biochemistry and its application in human health. I have a keen interest in free radical biology, oxidative stress, inflammation, diabetes, cancer biology, therapeutic targets, and medicinal plant based research. We are elucidating/verifying various pharmacological properties of traditionally claimed medicinal herbs notably their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, ant diabetic, anti-hyperlipdemic, anti-microbial and anti-cancer potential.
