The focus of his research over the past few years has been to elucidate the mechanism (s) of activation of oncogenic transcription factors such as NF-kB/STAT3 by carcinogens and inflammatory agents and the identification of novel inhibitors of these proteins for prevention of and therapy for cancer. His group has identified numerous small molecules from natural sources that can suppress various pro-tumorigenic signaling cascades involved in cancer initiation and promotion. The findings of his research work have so far resulted in more than one fifty scientific publications in high impact factor peer reviewed journals and several international awards. He currently serves as an Academic Editor for prestigious PLOS One journal and on the editorial board member of several journals including Scientific Reports and Frontiers in Pharmacology
