AnilKumar Moola is a Research Fellow at the University of Kentucky's Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, affiliated with the Palli Lab. His research focuses on biotechnology, phytochemistry, and environmental applications of plant-derived compounds. He explores topics such as plant secondary metabolites, biopesticides, nanotechnology in agriculture, and bioremediation of pollutants. His work integrates molecular biology, entomology, and toxicology to address challenges in pest control, stress responses in plants, and sustainable materials.
Recent studies include neuroprotective potential of Celastrol, histone acetylation in insect metamorphosis, and PPAR gamma agonists from plant compounds. He also investigates eco-friendly bioremediation strategies using microalgae and nanoparticles. His research emphasizes translational applications, such as enhancing plant metabolite production through genetic engineering and elicitation techniques.
Key contributions include larvicidal activity studies against Aedes aegypti, development of biochar for heavy metal remediation, and evaluation of plant extracts for therapeutic uses. Moola's interdisciplinary approach bridges fundamental biology with practical solutions for environmental and health challenges.
