Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Salma Abdel-Karim's research focuses on the production of bioactive compounds from plant cell cultures. Her work has investigated the enhanced production of prenylated isoflavonoids with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties in pigeon pea hairy root cultures. She has also studied the production of geranylated flavonoids with similar activities in hairy root cultures of *Dalea purpurea*. Additionally, her research includes the high-level production of antibacterial pentacyclic triterpenoids from hairy root cultures of *Bixa orellana* through abiotic elicitation. Abdel-Karim has co-authored publications with researchers from Arkansas State University, including Amit Raj Sharma, Mohammad A. Alam, Fabricio Medina-Bolívar, and Gaurav Gajurel.
