Molecular Toxicology
Research focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which environmental and pharmaceutical agents exert toxic effects on biological systems. Using tools from molecular biology, toxicogenomics, research team investigate pathways related to oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis. The goal is to identify biomarkers of toxicity and contribute to evidence-based risk assessment and safer therapeutic strategies.The research team has made significant contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms of toxicity induced by environmental toxicants, with a strong focus on fluoride toxicity.
Neurobiology
The laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms of neurotoxicity and neuropharmacological responses. Research areas include monoamine oxidase regulation, neurotransmitter imbalance, and behavioral alterations induced by neurotoxic agents. The research also emphasizes the mitigation of neurotoxic effects using natural compounds with therapeutic potential. Integrating molecular biology, pharmacology, and behavioral neuroscience, the team aims to identify biomarkers and novel interventions for neurotoxicity.
Cancer Biology
The research team focuses on molecular mechanisms driving Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), with particular emphasis on the dysregulation of signaling pathways such as STAT3 and FOXO3. Studies investigate how these pathways influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor progression. A key area of interest is the identification and characterization of marine-derived and natural compounds with anticancer potential. These compounds are explored for their ability to modulate oncogenic signaling, restore apoptotic pathways, and suppress tumor growth. The overarching goal is to uncover novel therapeutic strategies for HCC through pathway-specific interventions and bioactive natural agents.
Systems Biology
Team utilizes systems biology to decode the molecular networks affected by xenobiotics and toxicants. By integrating omics data and computational modeling, the work focuses on toxicity pathways, stress responses, and the modulation of these networks by natural and synthetic compounds for predictive toxicology and therapeutic insights.
