Research Focus, 🌍🛰️
This person appears to have a diverse research focus spanning the fields of nanotoxicology, pharmacogenetics, and genomics. Their work delves into the physio-biochemical and ultrastructural impact of (Fe3O4) nanoparticles on tobacco, as well as the genetic factors influencing glycemic control and response to medications like metformin and warfarin. Additionally, they explore substance addiction susceptibility genes, genotoxicity protection using Vitamin E, and the interplay of genetic polymorphisms in diseases such as diabetes, breast cancer, epilepsy, and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. This suggests a multidisciplinary approach, addressing crucial intersections between genetics, pharmacology, and health outcomes.
