I am working in a research area related to the evaluation of the cytotoxic as well as the cytostatic effects of the medicinal plants in order to indicate the traditionally known anti-cancer properties of the traditional herbs. Our work on herbal medicine aims to measure their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiobesity, and antidiabetic effects of these plants both in vitro and in vivo.
