About

● Plant Molecular Biology
● Phytochemistry and Pharmacology
● Medicinal Chemistry
Phytochemical profiling of medicinal plants traditionally reported for anti-diabetic, antiepileptic,
anti-rheumatic, nephroprotective, and hepatoprotective activity and validating their therapeutic
potential by conducting in vivo studies on animal models (rats and mice). In vivo studies are
carried out to understand the mechanism of action of the bioactive principle and study changes
that take place at the level of regulation of the metabolic network.
