About the author
Dr. Abha Sharma earned her Ph.D. from the Defence Research and Development Establishment (awarded by Jiwaji University), Gwalior, India, in 2006. She has worked at the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR), Lucknow as a Research Associate for more than three and a half year. Since 2010, she has been working as a faculty in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Raebareli, India. Currently, she is serving as an Associate Professor in the same department. Her research area includes the design and synthesis of molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and the development of sensors/probes for the detection of analytes/biomarkers of various central nervous system diseases like AD. She has published nearly 60 papers in high-impact journals, and book chapters, and patents. She has also served as a referee for some international journals and several students have completed their research projects under her guidance.
