Designation: Senior Research Fellowship
Project Title: Targeting Alzheimer’s disease by a mixture of Unani plant extract via modulation of human kinase.
Funding Agency: CCRUM, Ministry of AYUSH
Project Description: Interested candidates are welcome to apply for SRF for a comprehensive drug discovery project aimed at discovering potential kinase inhibitors from Unani medicine. A strong connection exists between phosphorylation and tau pathology has laid the foundation to hunt for tau kinase inhibitors as potential therapeutics. We believe that one of the most promising kinases that should
Being targeted is those that initiate the tau phosphorylation cascade. In this project, we aimed to identify potent kinase inhibitors in the extract of a mixture of Unani medicine plant extract.To find out how well the extract mixture that was chosen could reduce tau hyperphosphorylation and eliminate tau-mediated aggregates in distinct human neuronal cell lines, more testing will be conducted on this mixture. Our integrated approach will be key in identifying novel kinase inhibitors for the therapeutic management of MARK4-related tauopathies, Alzheimer’s disease, and neuroin flammation.
Essential Qualification (Unani Medicine): Applicants with postgraduate in Unani Medicine and a good command of oral and written communication skills in English will be given preference.
MD in Unani Medicine or BUMS from a recognized Statutory Board/ University included in the 2nd schedule of the CCIM Act 1970 with two years of experience as JRF/equivalent post in any project.
