My personal experience comprises the phytochemical analysis of various groups of natural compounds (coumarins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, furanochromones, taxoids, iridoids) using advanced chromatographic, spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. I carry out phytochemical studies on the optimization of modern extraction techniques used in isolation of phytoconstituents, including solid-phase extraction (SPE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) as well as standardization of herbal medicinal products. My current research interests include chemotaxonomical and biological studies concerning the plant species belonging to the Scutellaria L. (Lamiaceae) and Trifolium L. (Fabaceae) genera, which are known as being rich in pharmacologically active flavones and isoflavones used in various biodegenerative diseases.
