The prospect of favorably influencing brain health through dietary habits has gained much interest. My research interest explores the therapeutic potential of functional foods and phytonutrients as neuroprotectants against mitochondrial diseases and cerebral toxoplasmosis. The scientific findings support nutritional intervention as a viable strategy for the management of human brain disorders.
Areas of expertise: Autophagy, Functional Food, Mitochondria, Nutrition, Neurodegeneration, Protein Aggregation, Toxoplasmosis.
