Altered Metabolism: A Major Contributor of Comorbidities in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Namita Agrawal is currently a Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Delhi, India. Prof. Agrawal has been addressing numerous questions related to debilitating neurodegenerative diseases for past 25 years. She started working on neurodegenerative diseases at the Department of Development and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, USA. Her research group at University of Delhi is trying to comprehend the mechanistic basis of neurodegenerative diseases and its cure by using phytochemicals. Additionally, her research interests also include understanding of various aspects involved in Cancer and nanomaterials.Prof. Agrawal has published research papers in peer-reviewed journals like Science, PNAS, Journal of Cell Biology, Development, Developmental Biology, Nature Scientific Reports, PLOS One, J. of Huntington's disease etc. She has recently edited and wrote several chapters in a book published by Springer entitled "Toxicology of Nanoparticles: Insights from Drosophila". Additionally, she frequently writes chapters in the books related to neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to her dedication towards research, Dr. Agrawal has almost 15 years of experience in teaching Genetics, Cytogenetics and Developmental Biology to post-graduate students at the Department of Zoology, University of Delhi, India.

Namita Agrawal 目前是印度德里大學動物學系的教授。Agrawal 教授在過去 25 年中一直在解決與衰弱性神經退行性疾病相關的諸多問題。她在美國加州大學爾灣分校的發展與細胞生物學系開始研究神經退行性疾病。她在德里大學的研究團隊正試圖理解神經退行性疾病的機制基礎及其治療方法，並使用植物化學物質。此外，她的研究興趣還包括癌症及奈米材料的各種相關方面。Agrawal 教授在《Science》、《PNAS》、《Journal of Cell Biology》、《Development》、《Developmental Biology》、《Nature Scientific Reports》、《PLOS One》、《J. of Huntington's disease》等同行評審期刊上發表了多篇研究論文。她最近編輯並撰寫了由 Springer 出版的書籍《Toxicology of Nanoparticles: Insights from Drosophila》中的幾個章節。此外，她經常為與神經退行性疾病相關的書籍撰寫章節。除了對研究的奉獻，Agrawal 博士在德里大學動物學系教授遺傳學、細胞遺傳學和發展生物學的研究生課程方面擁有近 15 年的教學經驗。
