Prof. Das is involved in research on bioactive compounds from plants and vegetables particularly his focus is on finding key bioactives from foods, spices or vegetables from Indian and Asian origin and to establish their efficacy and mechanism of action towards disease prevention. He is also interested on the area of specific diets, phytochemicals and human health and on the mechanistic interplay of specific pre and probiotics in human health. His focus also lies in finding the interrelation of genetic and dietary factors in regulating various metabolic and biochemical pathways involved in the development of chronic diseases.
Another key research interest of Prof. Das is to explore the epigenetic mechanism of cancer development with emphasis on the role of fat diet and inflammation and their interplay. Preventive and/or therapeutic potential of plant bioactives while working in synergy to this catastrophe of cancer development involving epigenetic regime.
Prof. Das is also interested in identifying the synergy between bacteriocin, defensin and plant bioactive molecules towards the regulation of microbial genetic alteration for MDR.
The fundamental purpose of any diagnostic test is to help in determining whether a patient has or does not have a particular condition. Early detection always gives a better chance towards treatment and recovery from any diseases or disorder. To that end, several studies going on in this area for long time to improve specificity and sensitivity of the tool or to make it easy and pocket friendly. One of the research interest of Prof. Das is to develop suitable diagnostic kit for the early detection of nutrition related disorder.
