Pathik Parekh

Dr. Pathik's major research area of interest is focused on the elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism of Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, a multidisciplinary approach is employed to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying pathogenic degeneration of specific neuronal populations in the PD brain. Drug screening of novel molecules isolated from plant sources for their neuroprotective and neuronal regeneration properties by using animal and cellular models.
