Vignesh Arumugam
I am., Dr. Arumugam Vignesh currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College (Autonomous), which is affiliated with Bharathiar University, located in Pollachi, India. I earned my Ph.D. in Plant Science from the Department of Botany at Bharathiar University in Coimbatore, India. My Ph.D., research encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including the plant ecology, phytochemistry, cancer biology, green chemistry and molecular biology. I previously served as a Project Fellow from 2014 to 2016 under the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology project. Over the past nine years, I have been actively engaged in research. I have published numerous research papers in the various reputed international journals. Currently, my research group's primary areas of interest revolve around phytochemistry, cancer biology, gut microbiology, food chemistry, green chemistry, molecular biology and Nano drug delivery systems.
