Trace Elements in Brain Health and Diseases

Dr. Wael Mohamed Yousef Mohamed is a Clinical Pharmacologist, Neuroscientist and Psychiatrist. Dr. Mohamed got his PhD from PSU, USA and is currently working as an Assistant Professor in IIUM Medical School, Malaysia. He published over 70 peer-reviewed papers related to Neuroscience/Psychiatry. He is an editor of the Frontiers in Neurology, and PLOS-ONE Journals Additionally, he has edited few books in neuroscience field with Springer and Cambridge. He has received many research grants from national and international organizations namely, IBRO, ISN, MJF, STDF, FRGS and INDO-ASEAN.

Professor Rajat Sandhir has received his M.Sc and Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. Presently he is working as a Professor at the Department of Biochemistry, Panjab University. His research interests are focused to understand the biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in development of neurodegenerative conditions like metabolic encephalopathies, dementia's and motor disorders with a particular interest to investigate the role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunctions and alterations in permeability of Blood-Brain-Barrier. In addition, his interest is also to identify neuroprotective strategies that ameliorate neurodegenerative conditions. His group is also interested in understanding role of trace elements in brain particularly selenium during early development. He has over 200 research articles to his credit and has been on the editorial board of several international journals. He is also Fellow of Indian Academy of Neurosciences and Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists (IABMS). He has recently been awarded KT Shetty Memorial Oration 2021 by the Indian Academy of Neurosciences. He has been listed among the World 2% Scientists for the year 2020 released now by the Stanford researchers from Panjab University.

Dr. Wael Mohamed Yousef Mohamed 是一位臨床藥理學家、神經科學家和精神科醫生。Mohamed 博士在美國 PSU 獲得博士學位，目前擔任馬來西亞 IIUM 醫學院的助理教授。他發表了超過 70 篇與神經科學/精神病學相關的同行評審論文。他是《Frontiers in Neurology》和《PLOS-ONE》期刊的編輯。此外，他還與 Springer 和 Cambridge 編輯了幾本神經科學領域的書籍。他獲得了來自國內外組織的多項研究資助，包括 IBRO、ISN、MJF、STDF、FRGS 和 INDO-ASEAN。

Rajat Sandhir 教授在印度昌迪加爾的醫學教育與研究研究所獲得生物化學碩士和博士學位。目前，他在旁遮普大學的生物化學系擔任教授。他的研究興趣集中在理解與神經退行性疾病（如代謝性腦病、癡呆和運動障礙）發展相關的生化和分子機制，特別是研究氧化壓力、線粒體功能障礙和血腦屏障通透性變化的角色。此外，他還有興趣識別能改善神經退行性疾病的神經保護策略。他的研究小組也對微量元素在大腦中的作用，特別是硒在早期發展中的作用感興趣。他擁有超過 200 篇研究文章，並曾擔任多個國際期刊的編輯委員會成員。他還是印度神經科學學院和印度生物醫學科學家協會（IABMS）的院士。最近，他獲得了印度神經科學學院頒發的 KT Shetty 紀念演講獎 2021。他被列入斯坦福大學研究人員發布的 2020 年全球 2% 科學家名單。
