Assistant Professor
Biography
Niti Sharma has been an Assistant Professor at the Bionano Research Institute, Gachon University, since 2021. Niti's research looks for compounds from medicinal plants and spices that could protect nerve cells in Alzheimer's disease, tested against acetylcholinesterase, amyloid-β aggregation and oxidative stress. Recent reviews cover blood biomarkers and the blood–brain barrier, medicines and environmental chemicals linked to dementia risk, and trends in nanoparticle regulation.
Niti Sharma received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from CCS Haryana Agricultural University, India, in 2001. Before Gachon, Niti held research positions at Kongju National University (2002–2003), Chonbuk National University (2003–2004) and Kyoto Pharmaceutical University (2004–2005), was a postdoctoral researcher in medicinal chemistry at Chungnam National University (2010–2014), and later worked on herbal formulations and plant extracts at the Patanjali Research Foundation, India.
