The Potential of Intermittent Fasting in Age-related Diseases and Precision Anti-aging Therapeutics

Dr. Abhishek Kumar Singh is Associate Professor at Manipal Centre for Biotherapeutics Research, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India. Dr. Singh obtained his PhD from the CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, India, and brings more than a decade of research experience in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection. His research focuses on developing anti-aging strategies targeting autophagy pathways in brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Singh has corresponding teaching experience in biomaterials, bioprocess engineering, and gene therapy. Dr. Jitendra Kumar Sinha, PhD, is the Chief Scientific Officer at GloNeuro Academy, Noida and Neuroscience Visiting Faculty at Jiwaji University, Gwalior, India. His research interests include the neurobiology of aging and obesity, nutritional neuroscience, anti-aging paradigms and neuropharmacology. He has over 16 years experience in research and education, including high level course development and mentorship. He has a long-standing interest in animal models of aging and epilepsy, with focus on oxidative protein damage, DNA damage, and aging biomarkers, and notably established the heaviest rodent model for studying molecular mechanism of enhanced aging. Dr. Sinha has authored over 70 publications in several leading journals on aging, epilepsy, obesity, sleep, and spinal cord injury. He has served as guest editor, referee, or member of the editorial board for over 25 journals and received various prestigious awards from Government of India, International Brain Research Organization, International Society for Neurochemistry, among others. Dr. Raviraja Seetharam is Professor and Head of Manipal Centre for Biotherapeutics Research, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India. Dr. Seetharam obtained his MSc and PhD in Biosciences from Mangalore University, India, and completed post-doctoral research at Mount Allison University, Canada, and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, USA. He brings nearly 30 years of research experience in regenerative medicine, microbiology, and cell and molecular biology.
