- Isolation and characterization of bio-active compounds from Functional Grains, medicinal plants, microbes, marine organism and animals.
- Application of modern techniques such as NMR, LC-MS to structural elucidation of organic molecules.
- Biological and Pharmacological screening of Plant extracts and bio-active novel compounds and tracking the underlining mechanism of actions.
- Derivatization of bioactive compounds with a aim of lead discovery and optimization. Synthesis of chemically unique & biologically interesting compounds and evolution of their biological activities.
- In addition to the main stream research, my research interests are also extended to other aspects of natural product chemistry, evaluation of traditionally used medicines and their source materials from plants and as well as formulation development and drug delivery.
