Research
Currently I am investigating the potential and genotoxicity of naturally occurring compounds alongside Prof Diana Anderson and Mojgan Najafzadeh. I am also investigating the potential genotoxicity of thermal extrusion products in collaboration with Prof Anant Paradkar, University of Bradford.
PhD projects: I am co-supervising two PhD student researching in the area of Pulmonary hypertension and pharmaceutics with Dr Talat Nasim and Dr Khaled Assi respectively . I am also have educational Research collaborators in Dr Sue Jones, Dr Sam McLean, Dr Bishwa Tuladhar and Darren Brown University of Bradford
