About

More than seven years of research experience in Cell biology, Cancer biology, and Phytochemistry with a proven track record of designing and performing cell-based assays, analyzing data, troubleshooting technical issues, and communicating for publication in different scientific journals. My research interest is unraveling the molecular mechanisms behind cancer progression and angiogenesis to discover novel Achilles heels for developing effective treatments against cancer. I am also interested in assessing the anticancer efficacy of novel small phytochemicals against different cancers to hasten the avenue to drug development.
