About me
Motivated Life Science researcher with hands-on experience in essential oil–based nanoformulation and lung cancer models. Skilled in in vitro and in vivo experimental design, animal handling, and advanced analytical techniques including GC-MS, FTIR, DLS, zeta potential and SEM, with strong interests in toxicity evaluation, mechanistic studies and translational research on essential oils and phytochemicals.
Interests: My research interests focus on essential oil–based nanoformulations and advanced drug-delivery systems for improving the therapeutic performance of natural bioactive compounds. I am particularly interested in preclinical evaluation using lung cancer models, with emphasis on in vivo toxicity, safety profiling and bioavailability assessment. My work also concentrates on understanding oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling pathways and their role in cancer progression and treatment response. In addition, I aim to investigate apoptosis and cell-death mechanisms induced by phytochemicals and nanoformulations. I am interested in phytochemical profiling and structure–activity relationships, and in integrating experimental results with in-silico pathway analysis to support mechanistic interpretation and translational research.
