Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sonu Pahal's research investigates neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, with a focus on identifying potential therapeutic targets and drug candidates. This work involves computational biology and molecular docking simulations to evaluate natural compounds, such as those found in *Withania somnifera*, for their inhibitory effects against disease-related targets. Pahal also explores the role of mitochondria in aging and age-associated diseases and examines the potential of compounds like ezetimibe to mitigate Alzheimer's risk by targeting specific molecular interactions. The research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Meenakshisundaram Balasubramaniam and Srinivas Ayyadevara. Pahal has authored 15 publications, with an h-index of 6 and 97 citations.
