Research Overview & Focus
The researcher's work focuses on integrating medicinal plant chemistry with innovative approaches in wound healing and antifungal research, particularly examining the role of Lannings and their extractions in therapeutic applications and Diabetic cataracts. Additionally, the study investigates natural product bioactive compounds, emphasizing Nrf2/NCAM-mediated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The researcher also explores antibiotic resistance mechanisms, including multi-drug-resistant bacteria, and evaluates plant-derived compounds for their antifungal potentials against specific pathogens. Furthermore, the research highlights the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals in wound healing and addresses Diabetic cataracts through phenolic chemistry-based interventions.
