Nutrients Absorption Through GI Tract-Interactions of Natural Products of Bioactive Foods on Genomes
ID: 730600
Texas, USA
He has established in devising a novel drug beta- CGRP that prevent the side effects of COX-2 inhibitors. This provides further support of use of COX-2 inhibitors in cancer and inflammation. His recent studies in dietary bioactive citrus compunds supports the prevention of NSAIDs induced hyperpermeability in intestinal epithelial cells. This is a more crucial step in preventing NSAIDs induced inflammation through dietary intervention.
Expert has done extensive work on mechanism of interactions of natural products on cancer chemotherapy in cell culture and animal models. His expertise in in the interactions of curcumin on breast cancer chemotherapy paves a new way in elucidating the interference of dietary supplements on chemotherapy. There are a lot of dietary supplements and dietary bio-active compounds need to be analyzed to prescribe an effective cancer therapy in future, This needs to analyze the bio-availability of bio-active compounds and genomic interactions of these bio-active molecules. He is an expert of both, He has established a novel noninvasive protocol to study the bio-availability and nutrition absorption in human.
Expert has done extensive research on the mechanism of action of aspirin for the intestinal inflammation.
