Biography

I am a Ph.D. researcher in the Department of Life Sciences at HSNC University, K. C. College, Mumbai, India. My research focuses on neuroscience, natural products, and sustainable extraction technologies, with a particular interest in developing environmentally friendly approaches for the discovery of plant-derived neuroactive compounds. My current work investigates the use of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) for the extraction of phytoserotonin, phytomelatonin, and other bioactive phytochemicals from plants. I combine analytical chemistry, molecular docking, in vitro assays, and zebrafish models to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these compounds against Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. My broader research interests include neurodegenerative diseases, green chemistry, natural product-based drug discovery, chromatographic method development and validation, computational biology, and translational biomedical research. Through my work, I aim to contribute to the development of sustainable extraction technologies and scientifically validated natural therapeutics that can advance the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders.
