- Area of Specialization: Endocrinology and Reproductive Physiology
Research Interest:
With a formal training in male reproductive endocrinology, gradually developed a keen interest towards male reproductive health and the debilitating effect of environmental pollutants on it. Studied the role of oxidative stress and free radicals involved therein. Presently interested in delineating the molecular biology of sperm damage and elucidation of the role of phytochemicals and natural antioxidants as effective remedies.
Teaching Experience:
