Research Identity
The group focuses on the discovery and evaluation of phytocompounds and plant derivatives (e.g. extracts, polysaccharides, mucilage, essential oils, …) from native species and their derived nanomaterials/nanocomposites (e.g. with biosynthesized nanometals, nanopolymers, and liposomes) for generating potent bioactive microbicidal agents with minimal side-effects to constrain infectious pathogenic microorganisms (e.g. gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory pathogens), particularly the antibiotic-resistant strains.
Objectives

  • Exploration of native wild plant treasures as potential biocidal agents  

  • Application of nanobiotechnology approaches for enhancing antimicrobial bioactivities  

  • Promoting the innovation and creativity in the field of antimicrobial formulations  

  • Technology-transfer and localization for developing effectual antimicrobial nanomaterials  

  • Warrant the sustainability of research group through increasing the capacities/capabilities of faculty stuff, researchers, and postgraduates in the field of phytomedicine, natural therapeutics and antimicrobial formulations.  

  • The research activity will be mostly implemented at the University of Tabuk. 

Activities

  • Collection, extraction and evaluation of natural phyto-derivatives from native plant species  

  • Fabrication of bioactive nanomaterials/nanocomposites using phyto-derivatives  

  • Construction and judging the antimicrobial potentiality of formulated phyto-based nanomaterials against microbial pathogens  

  • Emphasizing the antimicrobial modes of action of generated agents and their potential  

  • Applicabilities.
