Contribution in medical science

• On the recommendation of Medical Council of India (MCI), and after getting survey related to the attitude of undergraduate medical students towards Alternatives to animal testing and Animal experiments, he initiated a separate lab on “Alternatives to Animal Experimentation” in the Department of Pharmacology at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. This is a first attempt in any medical college of India to have an exclusive lab where experimental work on animals is demonstrated by Computer aided education. In addition, he edited "A guide to alternatives to animal experiment in pharmacology", which is included in the curriculum of second professional MBBS course.

• He works in the field of Traditional medicine with special reference to Unani medicine. While working on morphine de-addiction properties of medicinal plants, he proposed a modified method for moderately and severely induced morphine dependent rats.. He specifically screened Delphinium denudatum for its protective activity in morphine induced physical dependence.

• His other field of works is Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology. In the field of Pharmacovigilance, he gave the concept of Pharmacoenvironmentology and differentiated the term Ecopharmacology from Pharmacoenvironmentology . However, some scientists also suggest the term, ‘EcoPharmacovigilance’ and ‘PharmEcovigilance’ in place of Pharmacoenvironmentology.

• He started as editor-in-chief, the official journal of the Society of Pharmacovigilance, India (SoPI) in 2003 - "Journal of Pharmacovigilance & Drug Safety (ISSN 0972–8899)"
