Research Interest

My research interest is in the area of biologically active phytochemicals. Plants produce a myriad of unusual compounds that are not used for primary metabolism, but are thought to be used for plant survival to various environmental challenges. The biological activities of these phytochemicals, also known as secondary products or natural products, have been harnessed by humans for millennia as medicines. The research conducted in my laboratory examines phytochemicals for novel biological actions. I am specifically interested in phytochemicals with antioxidant activity that may help to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The Phytochemistry Laboratory at Lehman College is a newly renovated facility in Davis Hall, room 119. It is fully equipped with instruments used for the identification and purification of natural products, including a gas chromatograph (HP 6890 with head space sampler), high performance liquid chromatographs (two Waters 2690 with 996 and one Waters 600 controller with 2487 dual wavelength detector), and a LC-MS (Finnigan Mat MS with Waters 2690 and 486 detector).

The Phytochemical Laboratory maintains collaborations with students of the CUNY Ph. D. Subprogram in Plant Sciences and Biochemistry, as well as with The New York Botanical Garden and The Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
