Neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by the accumulation of protein aggregates in the human brain, represent a significant threat to human well-being for which no therapeutic treatment is available.

During his doctoral research, he discovered an Ayurvedic extract known as Triphala to be capable of inhibiting the formation of protein aggregates in vitro.
