RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on molecular biology and pharmacology, exploring exosomes, microRNAs, saliva, natural products, and cytotoxicity. I aim to uncover exosome-mediated communication, develop non-invasive diagnostic tools, and evaluate bioactive compounds for therapeutic potential. This multidisciplinary approach advances precision medicine by bridging molecular mechanisms with innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
