About
I am Pandarinath Savitikadi, currently working as an Scientist-B at Gandhi Medical College& Hospital, Secunderabad. India
I am passionate about advancing scientific understanding in areas such as obesity, neurodegeneration, and cardiac health, with a particular focus on molecular nutrition and its role in chronic non communicable diseases (NCDs). My research is centered on unraveling how protein restriction affects brain and muscle growth, specifically through mechanisms involving protein quality control, ER stress, molecular chaperones, and the impairment of autophagy and apoptosis.
One of my key goals is to identify and develop dietary factors, functional foods and mini chaperone peptides as potential therapeutic agents for lifestyle related disorders, contributing to the development of nutritional interventions aimed at improving metabolic disorders.
With extensive hands on expertise in cell culture, molecular biology, animal models, and bioinformatics, I enjoy applying these techniques to tackle complex, interdisciplinary research challenges. I am always open to collaborations and discussions that can drive innovative solutions and improve health outcomes through cutting edge nutritional and biochemical research.
