For biomedical and molecular toxicology research, I focused on and consistently worked to develop and validate more advanced, sensitive cell-based in vitro models as a substitute for experimental animals. These experimental models are useful for understanding the molecular insights of drugs, nanoparticles and chemical-induced toxicity, metabolism, and apoptosis. 

I am exploring  at how green synthetic nanoparticles and active components of plant extracts can reduce oxidative stress, apoptosis, toxicity, and inflammation in cancer cells.  In my lab, I am utilizing Techniques, such as Cell culture, MTT assay, NRU assay, MTS assay, ROS Test, MMP assay, Cellular Oxidative Stress, In Vitro Photo toxicity Assays,  Comet Assay, Micronucleus Assay, Chromosomal aberrations, Sister Chromatid Exchange (SCE) assay,  Apoptotic and Autophagy assays, DNA Fragmentation & Nuclear Condensation, Flow Cytometry, Histopathology, Immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and RT-PCR, and Protein Array techniques etc. to understand molecular pathways in anti-cancer therapies.

Research Area: Cell and molecular toxicology, Environmental toxicology, Systematic Toxicology, Nanomaterial Toxicology, Genetic Toxicology, Aquatic biology & ecotoxicology,
