Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shakshi Sharma's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases and the potential therapeutic roles of natural compounds and nanoparticles. Her work investigates the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in conditions such as Parkinson's disease and traumatic brain injury. Sharma has explored the neuroprotective effects of compounds like quercetin and piperine in animal models, as well as the impact of specific amino acids, such as valine, on mitochondrial function. Her research also extends to the application of bacteriocin-synthesized silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial purposes. Sharma has published over 60 papers, with an h-index of 12 and more than 600 citations. She collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Gohar Azhar, Jeanne Y. Wei, Pankaj Patyal, and Ambika Verma.
