OverviewAI-generated summary

Shakshi Sharma's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in inflammation and oxidative stress. Her work investigates how factors such as specific amino acids, like valine, can influence mitochondrial function and offer protection against oxidative damage. Sharma has also explored the impact of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from pathogens like P. gingivalis on mitochondrial health, linking this to neuroinflammation. Her research extends to the study of sirtuin-1 isoforms in regulating mitochondrial processes and the exploration of bacteriocin synthesized silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial applications, including food preservation. Sharma holds a staff scientist position in Geriatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has an h-index of 12 with over 60 publications.
