My research aims to investigate the potential toxicological effects on the environment caused by coexposure to dexamethasone and oseltamivir. Both drugs are commonly used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, and their presence has been detected in wastewater systems, indicating a possible impact on aquatic life and the environment.
To explore this issue, I am conducting studies on the effects of these drugs on zebrafish.The results of this research may shed light on the potential ecological risks of using these drugs in combination. Apart from my research, I have a passion for hiking, cooking, and gaming. Hiking allows me to connect with nature, explore new places, and stay fit. Cooking is an enjoyable hobby that allows me to be creative and experiment with different flavors and techniques in the kitchen. It’s also a great way to unwind and relax after a long day of work. Finally, gaming is a fun and engaging way to pass the time, challenge my mind, and provides me with a much-needed break from the stresses of everyday life.
