Research

My research focuses on exploring the therapeutic potential of marine-derived bioactive compounds in protecting the lungs from air pollution–induced damage. Air pollutants such as particulate matter and cigarette smoke are major contributors to oxidative stress and inflammation in the respiratory system, increasing the risk of chronic lung diseases.

By bridging marine algae as a natural source and respiratory disease in my research, my work contributes to the growing field of sustainable and translational approaches to combat air pollution–related health challenges.
