Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Geetika KC's research focuses on the cellular mechanisms underlying oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly in the context of neuroinflammatory diseases. Her work has investigated the protective effects of amino acids, such as valine, on mitochondrial function and resilience against oxidative damage. She has also explored how bacterial components, like lipopolysaccharides from *P. gingivalis*, can induce mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation through oxidative stress pathways. Further research by KC has examined the role of specific cellular pathways, such as the Rho/SRF pathway, in modulating mitochondrial functions. Her collaborative efforts at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include shared publications with Jeanne Y. Wei, Pankaj Patyal, Gohar Azhar, and Ambika Verma.
