Namrata Singh
Associate Professor, DY Patil University, India
Biography
Dr. Namrata Singh received her Ph. D degree from Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, India, in 2013 in physico-organic chemistry with Prof. Kallol K. Ghosh. Her thesis research interests were surfactants, micellar kinetics and oxime based AChE reactivators. She worked for two years as postdoctoral-scientist with Prof. ZdenÄ›k Fišar at first faculty of medicine, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic and studied the genetic, biological and environmental factors of mental disorders especially cognitive enhancers and mitochondrial functions. In 2015 she joined Department of chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay as postdoctoral fellow to study drug-protein interactions and their biothermodynamics. She is currently working as Assistant Professor at Department of Engineering Sciences, DY Patil’s Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology, Mumbai. Her current research interests include neurodegenerative disorders particularly Alzheimer’s disease, cannabinoids and mitochondrial respiration, cholinesterase inhibitors, bio-thermodynamics of drug-protein, drug-surfactant and drug-drug interactions. She has published seventeen research articles, one short communication, one book chapter and four review articles in journals of high repute. She has bagged prestigious scientific awards and recognitions including Young Scientist Awards and national and international research fellowships. She is interested in physicochemical and biochemical aspects of drugs for neurodegenerative disorders. Currently her research interests include drug-protein interactions and aggregation/fibrillation of proteins.
