Biography

Being as a veterinarian, I specialized in the field of physiology. In my research carrier, as a student of physiology, I worked with nutritional modulation of poultry health, immunity, endocrinology, and growth performance. I earned vast experience during this period by working in national and international laboratories. However, as an independent researcher, I choose to work in the field of thermal stress physiology and environmental physiology, with special emphasis on effects of environmental pollutants and nanoparticles on health and performance of different animal species like poultry, mice, rats, and rabbits.

Areas of Interest

  1. Theme 1: Thermal Stress Physiology
    Thermal stress is becoming a major environmental concern with the advancement in global warming. It adversely affects the overall health and performance of animals as well as human beings by deteriorating the redox status, hormonal balance, and immunity. This ultimately led to poor performance, gastrointestinal disturbances and enhan0ced diseases susceptibility. Therefore, I am studying the impact of high ambient temperature on different physiological attributes to understand the mechanism at biochemical and molecular levels. At the same time, I am focusing on the modulation of perturbations induced by thermal stress by supplementing different molecules and agents like amino acids, trace minerals, antioxidants, phytobiotics, prebiotics, and probiotics. The long term goal is to identify the biochemical and molecular key checkpoints and development of nutritional strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress by employing different animal species including poultry and rodents.
  2. Theme 2: Modulation of Health by Environmental Pollutants
    Massive industrialization and deforestation are continuously pushing the environment towards critical limits. The environmental reaction to this scenario is translated in the form of health hazards that include chronic respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and metabolic events and therefore high morbidity and mortality. Keeping in view the significance of practical toxicology, at present, I am studying the impact of environmental pollutants like plasticizers and heavy metals on metabolic, renal, neuronal, and endocrinological responses by using rodent models. The long term goal is to understand and identify the molecular mechanisms and key regulatory points in the development of chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and organs failure after exposure to environmental pollutants.
