Focus of Research :

  • Bioactive molecule discovery from marine flora and fauna
  • Food chemistry and aquatic food product technology
  • Development of high value products as dietary supplements and health management 
 

Background :

I have more than ten years of research experience at CMFRI in the frontier area of marine bioprospecting, food chemistry, and bioactive molecule discovery with research records in the form of research papers in peer-reviewed journals and commercialized technologies. I have taken a leading role to develop and commercialise the nutraceutical products CadalminTM Green Mussel extract and CadalminTM Green Algal extract as effective green alternatives to the synthetic drugs to combat rheumatic arthritic pains. I have research interests in characterization of bioactive compounds and polyunsaturated fatty acids from marine organisms and their applications as dietary supplements and health management.
