About

I am a final-year Ph.D. scholar in Biosciences with an interdisciplinary background in molecular neurobiology, nanomedicine, and neurodegenerative disease research. My doctoral research focuses on developing PLGA-based nanoformulations of plant based active compounds as neuroprotective strategies for Parkinson’s disease. My work integrates nanotechnology with cellular and animal models to investigate mechanisms involving oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, lysosomal impairment, and dopaminergic integrity in neurodegeneration.
