Prof. Sasidharan Sreenivasan is a pharmaceutical biologist and pharmacognosist with extensive research experience in the transdisciplinary aspects of medicinal plant research. His primary aim is to highlight the importance of medicinal plants in drug discovery. In recent years, herbal remedies have gained recognition as dietary supplements for disease prevention and as alternative/complementary medicine. The WHO estimates that 80% of the world's population relies on traditional herbal medicine for primary healthcare. While thousands of plants have been documented in traditional medicine, few studies have explored how these wild resources are integrated into modern medicine. Prof. Sasidharan Sreenivasan's scientific research on medicinal plants, based on modern methods, has significantly contributed to the generation of scientific data, leading to the integration of this knowledge into modern medicine.
