Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shakshi Sharma's research focuses on the intersection of nutrition, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress, with applications in areas such as antimicrobial packaging and disease mechanisms. Her work investigates how specific nutrients, like valine, can impact cellular health by improving mitochondrial function and offering protection against oxidative damage. Sharma has also explored the role of inflammation, particularly neuroinflammation induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides, in contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction. Her research extends to the development and application of novel materials, including bacteriocin-synthesized silver nanoparticles, for antimicrobial purposes, such as preserving food products like tomatoes. Additionally, she has conducted reviews on the nutritional and pharmacological potential of various food sources, including mulberries, and has investigated the synthesis and antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles derived from probiotics. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, 62 total publications, and 591 total citations.
