Research Interests

My research interests initially focused on cancer chemoprevention using natural products and their derivatives. I have conducted various experiments to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, cancer chemo preventive, anti-cancer, and anti-metastatic effects of these natural compounds in both in vitro and in vivo models. Currently, my research is divided into two main areas. First, I am expanding my work to investigate the effects of compounds on neuroinflammation models caused by both endogenous and exogenous factors in glial cells using in vitro systems. The second area of my research is in the field of nutrigenomics, which examines how food, and its components influence gene expression. I have been studying the long-term effects of grape consumption on various tissues in mouse models, utilizing RNA-sequencing data analysis. I plan to further explore the interactions between other nutrients or natural products and the genome, with a focus on how these interactions affect health and disease outcomes.
