Dr. Jitendra Kumar Sinha, PhD, is the Chief Scientific Officer at GloNeuro Academy, Noida and Neuroscience Visiting Faculty at Jiwaji University, Gwalior, India. His research interests include the neurobiology of aging and obesity, nutritional neuroscience, anti-aging paradigms and neuropharmacology. He has over 16 years experience in research and education, including high level course development and mentorship. He has a long-standing interest in animal models of aging and epilepsy, with focus on oxidative protein damage, DNA damage, and aging biomarkers, and notably established the heaviest rodent model for studying molecular mechanism of enhanced aging. Dr. Sinha has authored over 70 publications in several leading journals on aging, epilepsy, obesity, sleep, and spinal cord injury. He has served as guest editor, referee, or member of the editorial board for over 25 journals and received various prestigious awards from Government of India, International Brain Research Organization, International Society for Neurochemistry, among others.Dr. Shampa M. Ghosh is an evolutionary biologist and her research focus is experimental evolution and evolutionary developmental biology. She uses fruit flies for her research, and built up the first Drosophila research laboratory of Bhubaneswar at KIIT. She did her PhD in Evolutionary and Organsimal Biology from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) Bangalore India (with Prof. Amitabh Joshi), and worked as a postdoctoral scientist at Michigan State University USA (with Prof. Alexander Shingleton) focusing on development, genetics, and plasticity. She has been a visiting faculty at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER, Jatni, Odisha) from 2016 to 2018. Dr. Ghosh has also worked briefly for Bionivid Technology Pvt. Limited. She worked as a DST Women Scientist A at KIIT focusing on experimental evolution from 2017 to 2020. Her current research focuses on plasticity and evolution in Drosophila.
