During this period, he has worked on the isolation and characterization of selenoproteins (having anticancer activity) and published work in reputed scientific journals. His core area of the research involved molecular pathophysiology under the influence of experimental oxidative stress and its modulation in spermatogenesis, atherosclerosis and carcinogenesis. Regulation of gene expression related to the endogenous antioxidative enzymes, transcription factors and their upstream activators (MAP kinases) were studied at transcriptional and translational level using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry/ELISA etc. He was listed as reviewer for various international research journals.
