Research Project

I am a researcher focused on the neurobiology of aging and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular interest in exploring phytotherapeutics as potential interventions. My work investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive neurodegeneration in aging brains, while evaluating plant-based compounds for their neuroprotective and therapeutic potential. By integrating neuroscience, aging biology, and natural product research, I aim to contribute to the development of safe, effective strategies for the prevention and management of neurodegenerative disorders.
