Past Projects

Natural product-loaded nanoparticles for cancer therapy: formulation, characterisation, in silico and cellular studies.
In this study, the anticancer potential of natural products from four plant species was investigated. The use of nanoparticle drug delivery systems to enhance anticancer activity of β-sitosterol as a model natural products was also investigated.
