His research in the past covered two areas: first, biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which various anti-cancer agents induce apoptosis (programmed cell death), differentiation, and premature senescence in cancer cells; second, investigation of the anticancer potential of several natural products and their synthetic analogues. Currently, his main interest is in the area of developing pedagogical strategies to best teach Medical Biochemistry to medical students and to teach a course to undergraduate students on the subject of biochemical and molecular mechanisms that mediate the effects of food on health and longevity. On the research interest side, he is interested in the mechanisms that control cellular growth (e.g., increase in cellular mass) of cancer cells.
