This book provides a comprehensive summary of the latest knowledge regarding functional foods and new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders through explaining specific mechanisms for natural remedies and functional foods as well as alternative treatment and supplementary approaches for neurodegenerative diseases. Many relevant topics are covered, including role of prebiotics, recent applications for dietary polyphenols, marine bioactive compounds for neuro disorders, and age-related disorders. The roles of various remedies and functional foods are explained for various types of diseases, and the book also integrates the role of functional foods and remedies to work with the current therapeutics that are taking place. In parallel, the information presented through this book will also stimulate current status of leading contemporary methods for prohylactic and diagnostic practices, comprising nanoparticles, biomarkers, in silico techniques, and CRISPR-mediated genome editing-based therapy. The book will be essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in natural medicine, drug development, and food therapeutic strategies. In presenting new results and approaches and identifying areas for future research, it will also be of benefit for specialists in the field.
Dr. Preetham Elumalai, Assistant Professor (Biochemistry), Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS), Kochi, completed his Masters from University of Madras, Tamilnadu. He has qualified National Eligibility Test for Lecturership conducted by ASRB/ICAR/UGC. He took his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular immunology from the Institute for Immunology, University of Regensburg, Germany. He did his Post-doctoral research in the same University and worked on lectin Glycomics.
Dr. Preetham has worked at various Universities and has quite a good experience in teaching and demonstrating concepts in Biochemistry and Immunology. His current research practice includes Proteomics and Functional genomic approach for the analysis of pathomechanisms of different aquatic diseases, application of nanotechnology for the regulation of nutrient uptake in fish using nutrigenomic approaches, Genetic regulation of gene expression across tissues, time and environments.
He holds editorial positions in National and International Journals and is a member of many prestigious societies, including Asian Fisheries Society, European association of Fish pathology, International Veterinary Vaccinology Network, International Complement Society and Society of Neurochemistry. He has widely travelled to more than 20 countries on various teaching and research assignments. He was awarded the prestigious INSA (2017), MASTS (2019) UK visiting fellowship.
Dr. Sreeja Lakshmi hold a Master degree in Biochemistry from University of Calicut, Kerala. She persued her PhD in Biochemistry from Molecular Cell Biology, University of Regensburg, Germany. She did her Post-doctoral Research in Institute of Tropical Medicine, University of Tuebingen, Germany. Dr. Sreeja is an awardee of HRD Fellowship for Women Scientists by Department of Health Research and MASTS (Marine Alliance Science & Technology, Scotland) Award for Post doctoral and Early Career Research Exchanges (PECRE). Currently she is persuing her Post-doctoral Research in collaboration with Moredun Research Institute (MRI), UK, with International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) Fellowship Grant, UK. Her research interests extends through functional attributes of bioactive compounds for therapeutic applications, development of nano and glycovaccines against aquatic diseases, novel treatment strategies against neurodegenerative disorders and protein biochemistry.
Dr. Sreeja has published her works in many peer reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. She holds memberships in International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN), Society of Biological Chemists, International Complement Society, Indian Academy of Neurosciences and Society for Neurochemistry India. She is an editorial board member for few online journals.
