Intelli, also attended World Food Prize Conference, 2013 held at Des Moines, USA, where she learnt about global food insecurity and potential of underutilized/neglected crops to combat this global demon. Hence, she decided to work on nutritionally significant underutilized grains. Currently, she is working on the nutritional composition of underutized pseudo-cereals and their potential health benefits in dyslipidemia and hypercholesterolemia in animal models. She has also published her research work with Thomson Reuters and Scopus indexed journals. Her motto is to spread awareness about underutilized, neglected crops/foods and explore their health benefits for amelioration of global health.
