Diabetic Wound Healing: Conducted in-depth research on the therapeutic potential of alginate hydrogel combined with a micro-molecule extracted from Spirulina algae, focusing on gene expression involved in the wound healing process.

Stem Cell Differentiation: Successfully differentiated nanoparticle X-engineered adipose-derived stem cells into cardiomyocytes within a two-dimensional (2D) cell culture system.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Analyzed the effects of naringenin in the empirical treatment of experimental PCOS, emphasizing the examination of antioxidant genes and enzyme activity.

Spermatogonia Stem Cells (SSC): Explored the role of Spirula algae in enhancing the self-renewal capacity of SSCs, with a detailed analysis of relevant cell cycle gene expression.

Type-1 Diabetes and Spermatogenesis: Investigated the impact of type-1 diabetes on spermatogenesis, focusing on the expression of critical genes, including SDK2, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E, and CDK4.

Structural Biology Techniques: Utilized X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy to investigate protein interactions and regulatory mechanisms within cellular signaling pathways.

Gene Expression Analysis: Performed detailed gene expression studies, including PCR, cDNA synthesis, and transduction, to explore the role of specific genes in disease processes.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Collaborated with cross-disciplinary teams to develop and test novel therapeutic compounds targeting key enzymatic pathways, particularly those involved in ubiquitination and other post-translational modifications.

Data Management: Maintained accurate and comprehensive laboratory records, ensuring all experimental data was meticulously documented and analyzed.
