Gold Nanoparticle Therapeutics in Alzheimer's Disease

Dr. Arun Kumar Singh is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy at Vivekanand Global University, Jaipur. He completed both his MPharm in Pharmaceutics and his PhD at Galgotias University, Greater Noida. His research strengths lie in AI-driven cancer research, nano-formulation, and the intersection of blockchain, IoT, machine learning, big data, and neuroscience with pharmaceutical science. He has authored books and contributed chapters on big data and cancer, and his work includes reviews published in reputable journals. His research appears across publishers such as IOP, Elsevier, CRC Press, and Wiley, reflecting a broad publication record and ongoing contributions to AI-enabled oncology and advanced drug delivery. Dr. Mahesh Narayan is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso in the United States. Dr Narayan obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from Bombay University [1991], Ph.D. in Biophysics from The Ohio State University [1997], and pursued postdoctoral studies at Cornell University, USA [1997-2000] and was a Sr. Res. Assoc. at Cornell University [2002-05], USA. He has authored and co-authored several articles and book chapters in the fields of free radical biology, protein-structure function, oxidative folding, and protein misfolding, halogen bonding and in silico drug design, agricultural impact of nanomaterials, and chemical education. His work has been recognized by invitations to speak at over 15 international forums, as well as coverage in a variety of media outlets. The overall goal of his research program is to develop a better understanding of the intracellular processes and events that underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. He is particularly interested in the effects of xenobiotics on amyloid proteins. This is since the majority of neurodegenerative disorders are sporadic, and environmental agents such as pesticides and certain drugs of abuse are risk factors for such neuropathies. Dr. Ashutosh Pareek, Professor at Banasthali Vidyapith with over 15 years of experience in pharmaceutical sciences, holds gold medals for his Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Pharmacy. Dr. Pareek specializes in neuropharmacology and innovative drug delivery systems, focusing on neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. His research includes developing advanced drug delivery systems for immunomodulators like naringenin. Dr. Pareek leads a research team working on these critical health issues and has published over 45 research papers and authored five technical books. He holds an international formulation patent and has received numerous awards, including the Zee National Achievers Award 2023. His work is funded by national and international agencies such as ICMR, DST-SERB, DBT, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, and the International Brain Research Organization. He serves as a Review Editor for Frontiers in Pharmacology and Frontiers in Oncology and reviews for leading journals by Elsevier, Springer, and Bentham.
