Position:  Professor/Dean

HEC Approved Supervisor:  YES

Research Intersts:  Working mainly in the domain of human nutrition with special reference to functional & nutraceutical foods and their mechanisms against various metabolic syndromes. Plant based bioactive molecules, antioxidants and their allied health enhancing perspectives to prevent various maladies. Moreover, assessment of nutraceutics in the form of designer foods to alleviate lifestyle related disorders involving hidden hunger, diabetes, cardiovascular complications and cancer protection are amongst the core research areas. Additionally, working on food preservation by the application of edible coatings to improve the quality and shelf life of whole and minimally processed fruits. Besides, wheat flour fortification is also one of the expertise domains.
