About

I am a researcher in biotechnology with a keen interest in exploring the potential of nanotechnology and natural bioactive compounds in biomedical applications. My research involves the development and biological evaluation of green-synthesised nanomaterials and nanoformulations, particularly for cancer-focused applications. I am interested in understanding the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals, improving their delivery through nanoscale systems, and exploring their biological interactions. My research interests also extend to nanomedicine, drug delivery, cancer biology, and sustainable approaches to therapeutic development. I aim to contribute to interdisciplinary research that connects innovative laboratory findings with potential applications in healthcare.
