Autorenporträt

Dr. Nawab John Dar is at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, where he is part of a research group led by Professor Pamela Maher. His research journey began after graduating from the CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine in India, and he has since been dedicated to advancing the understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dar's work focuses on exploring the neuroprotective potential of bioactive compounds and investigating the role of oxytosis/ferroptosis in Alzheimer's disease. His goal is to identify targets for effective therapies against Alzheimer's. Beyond his scientific endeavors, Dr. Dar is a committed educator and advocate for raising awareness about neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing the importance of small molecules in targeting various aspects of neurodegeneration. His work not only sheds light on the potential of these molecules but also offers hope for effective treatments for millions affected by these conditions. Dr. Shahnawaz Ali Bhat is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh, India. Currently his research program focuses on deciphering the molecular and cellular processes/pathways involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders. Further, he is also interested in neuropharmacological and neurotoxicological studies to screen or identify various bioactive molecules for effective prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and hypertension-induced neurodegeneration.
