Research Area
∑ Study of plant secondary metabolites for developing new drugs for several
human diseases
∑ Therapeutics
∑ Pharmaceutical analysis
∑ Enzymology
∑ Quality assurance and quality control for novel drug development
∑ Neuroscience on special emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinsonism
Research experience:
Working as a senior research fellow in IIT Kharagpur, from December 2013, in a national
project headed by Tea board of India and IIT Kharagpur.
The main objective of the proposed research project is to develop a new drug for
alzheimer’s disease by addressing the key therapeutics of plant secondary metabolites
specially by the polyphenols of tea.
The main objectives of the project are:
∑ To analyse the polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity in fresh tea leaves grown
in organic and inorganic nutrient management practices.To evaluate the tea
polyphenol content and their quantification by the combination of high-pressure
liquid chromatography (HPLC) with high-resolution time-of-flight mass
spectrometry(MS)
∑ To evaluate the Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory property in organically and
inorganically grown tea by UV-visible spectrophotometer

2. ∑ To compare behavioural assessment and biochemical analysis of Colchicine induced
rat model of alzheimer’s disease before and after oral administration of tea extract
having maximum polyphenol content
∑ To analyse the behavioural changes of the early onset of alzheimers disease patients
in hospital after oral administration treatment of tea containing maximum polyphenol
∑ Development of polyphenol capsules for prevention of Dementia
Projects done
∑ Worked as a Research assistant in Centres for International projects trust from May
