Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amit Raj Sharma's research focuses on the discovery and characterization of novel bioactive compounds from natural sources, with an emphasis on antimicrobial and anti-cancer agents. His work involves cultivating plant hairy root cultures and marine microorganisms to elicit the production of secondary metabolites. Sharma has investigated stilbenes, flavonoids, and cyclic peptides, exploring their potential pharmacological activities. Publications include the identification of bulbiferamide, an antitrypanosomal hexapeptide from a marine bacterium, and the induction of prenylated isoflavonoids and stilbenoids in plant cultures like peanut and pigeon pea. He also studies marine-derived metabolites such as marinoquinolones and tenacibactins for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. Sharma's research is supported by collaborations with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Fabricio Medina-Bolívar, Gaurav Gajurel, and Robert C. Shields. His scholarly output includes 24 publications with 326 citations and an h-index of 12.
