Research Focuse
The research focus of R. Saini spans several key areas, with a primary emphasis on immunology, particularly the role of nitric oxide in neutrophil function. This includes studying the localization and function of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in immune cells, such as neutrophils and eosinophils, and their implications for inflammatory responses. Additionally, Saini’s work explores the protective effects of natural compounds and dietary factors on oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly in dermatology and radiation-induced injuries. Other significant areas of interest include the therapeutic potential of plant extracts, bioactive compounds, and the application of nanotechnology in medicine and agriculture.
