His previous research contributions focused on the anti-obesity effects of food compounds, where he suggested new insights into the mechanisms of action of coffee and medicinal plants-related compounds on lipid metabolism. He started his investigation with well-known coffee compounds, but further advanced his studies to investigate the lesser known coffee diterpenes and other plant compounds. He has published several manuscripts investigating the effects of food compounds and toxicants on lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and inflammation.

His current research interests are still related to the molecular pathways involved in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome that can be regulated by diet. He uses worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) as biological model to elucidate these molecular pathways and their relevance to humans. Using knockout animals and molecular biology techniques, he continues to apply his multidisciplinary interests and knowledge to investigate the potential treatments for metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases at Kean University.
