Dr. Gupta has to his credit more than 100 scientific publications and review articles which have appeared in internationally recognized Indian and foreign journals. Founder fellow, life member and office bearer of many national societies, academies and associations. He has successfully completed a number of research/consultancy projects funded by government, private and multinational agencies. His current areas of interest are histopathology, toxicology, pre-clinical safety pharmacology, reproductive efficacy studies of laboratory animals and biodiversity. He is the Series Editor of the recently published multi-volume set of books, “Comprehensive Bioactive Natural Products (Vols. 1-8)”, published by M/S Studium Press, LLC, USA. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the books, “Utilisation and Management of Medicinal Plants (Vols. 1-3)”, “Medicinal Plants: Phytochemistry, Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Vols.1-4)”, “Traditional and Folk Herbal Medicine (Vols. 1-3)”, “Natural Products: Research Reviews (Vols. 1-4)”, “Bioactive Phytochemicals: Perspectives for Modern Medicine (Vols. 1-3)”, “Perspectives in Animal Ecology and Reproduction (Vols. 1-10)” and “Animal Diversity, Natural History & Conservation (Vols. 1-5)”.
