My research interests focus on natural products and their therapeutic potential in wound healing, particularly diabetic wound healing. My current research investigates bioactive compounds such as α-mangostin and crocin, as well as Sabah indigenous natural products, including Bambangan (Mangifera pajang), for their wound-healing potential. My work primarily uses in vitro human cell culture models, including human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs), human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), and THP-1-derived macrophages, to investigate cell migration, inflammation, growth factors, extracellular matrix remodelling, gene expression (RT-qPCR), and protein expression (ELISA). My broader interests include natural product-based therapeutics, molecular medicine, transcriptomics, proteomics, and translational wound care research.
