Screening of Medicinal Plants for Antidiabetic Activity

Dr. Parham Taslimi started his doctorate education and focused on enzymes and antioxidants. He investigated the antioxidant capacity of different extracts which were isolated from various plant sources and determined their active components. In this context, he investigated the antioxidant and radical removal capacities of the plants that are unique to Anatolia and he made these studies his works in high-impact journals.
