Major Research Areas in Faculty of Life Science

  • Research in the field of endophytes, medicinal plants, and their organic-herbal products focuses on understanding the symbiotic relationships between plants and their associated microorganisms, particularly endophytes, which inhabit plant tissues without causing harm. These microorganisms often play a crucial role in enhancing plant growth, resilience, and bioactive compound production. Investigating medicinal plants and their phytochemicals provides valuable insights into natural remedies and the development of organic, sustainable herbal products. Such studies aim to identify novel bioactive compounds with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics while promoting environmentally friendly practices. This multidisciplinary field combines microbiology, botany, and pharmacology to explore sustainable solutions for health and well-being.
