Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the role of bioactive compounds in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. Bioactive compounds derived from natural sources, such as plants, fungi, and marine organisms, have shown promising anticancer properties. Understanding the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of these bioactive compounds is crucial for the development of effective cancer prevention and treatment strategies. This study will employ a combination of experimental and computational approaches to investigate the role of bioactive compounds in cancer prevention and treatment. The findings from this research will provide valuable insights into the potential of bioactive compounds as novel therapeutic agents for cancer.
