Research interests:
I'm interested in studying the anti-angiogenic activity of low molecular weight natural products for the treatment of different kinds of cancer. Besides that, I’m also want to explore the potential of natural products that I selected as anti-androgens and anti-estrogens for the treatment of both prostrate and breast cancers respectively.
