Research Focus

  • I have done my research on evaluation of different herbs to evaluate their effects on Candidiasis samples in-vitro during my Masters in Philosophy and now I want to take it further to molecular level for studying their anticandidal mode of actions and on which genome of candida they are affecting.
  • In addition, I would like to research on different clinical trials related to this and other infections. Though a recent clinical trial study is still doing to date.
  • Medical education is another field of interest and different research projects on it are still going yet.
