Current Research Activities

Biological Systems and Organisms

My current research activities is based on developing a technology using nano-material that will help diabetic patients to monitor their disease non-invasively using breath. I also focus on treating diabetes mellitus non-invasively by encapsulating insulin with nano-materials for oral injection.
