Research Interests: Screening of new compounds and medicinal plants to identify novel inhibitors of key enzymes that dictate the pathophysiology of chronic human illnesses such as cancer and various endocrinologic abnormalities. 	Development and in vitro / in vivo evaluation of drug delivery platforms for medications used in the management of chronic diseases. 	Analysis of drug and herbal products: optimization of methods of analysis and standardization of natural and pharmaceutical products using various analytical techniques.

	Discovery of new plant-originated drugs based on the traditional use of the plants coupled with in vivo testing of promising compounds using select animal models including toxicity studies to insure safety for human

	Application of computer-aided molecular design techniques and molecular modeling studies towards the discovery and design of new biologically active compounds. Special emphasis on developing new agents with hypoglycemic/hypolipidemic dual activities for the management of diabetes.
