Research Overview & Focus
The researcher focuses on examining the effects of plant-derived metabolites across diverse biological domains. Their work investigates how alkaloidal seeds (e.g., Picralima nitida) modulate inflammation in rats with IBD, while acariaceae plants like Pseudospondias microcarpa may influence brain disorders through behavioral changes under chronic stress. Additionally, their metabolic studies using seeds such as picralima nitida reveal potential impacts on mood or other health aspects.
