Research Interests

I’m interesting in understanding the epigenetics that play a vital role in supporting the leukemic cells. Identified these epigenetics is important in understating the pathophysiology of these malignant cells as well as it may give a chance to potential using them as biomarkers and treatment. Also, I’m interesting to investigate the effect of the active compounds extracted from medicinal herbs and other plants on the epigenetics of the malignant cells. Also, their effect on platelets activity.
