Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ambika Verma's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, with a particular focus on the role of oxidative stress. Her work has explored how bacterial components, such as lipopolysaccharides from P. gingivalis, can induce these detrimental processes in neuronal and microglial cells. Verma has also examined the impact of specific nutrients, like valine, and pharmacological compounds on mitochondrial function and cellular protection against oxidative damage. Her publications include studies on the effects of amino acid-based dietary supplements on older adults and the mechanisms of bacterial effector suppression of host cellular responses. Verma has a publication record of 55 papers, with 492 citations and an h-index of 13. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Pankaj Patyal, Gohar M. Azhar, Jeanne Y. Wei, and Robert R. Wolfe.
