Anti-Aging Drug Discovery on the Basis of Hallmarks of Aging

Sandeep Kumar Singh is the Founder President of Indian Scientific Education and Technology (ISET) Foundation. He is a well-trained neuroscientist with a strong background in Biochemistry and Biomedicine. He earned his Bachelor of Science (Biology) from University of Lucknow, India, in 2005 and Master of Science (Biotechnology) from CSJM University, India, in 2008. He was honored with Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from the most prestigious institution, the “Capital of Knowledge” Banaras Hindu University, India, in the year 2015. His research interests are in neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease. He has more than 9 years of experience in neuroscience research and has worked as Postdoctoral Scholar at Neurobiology Department, The University of Chicago, USA. He is currently working as Research Associate at Centre of Biomedical Research, Lucknow, India.

Chih-Li Lin is a Professor and Research Fellow of Chung Shan Medical University and Hospital, Taiwan. He obtained his Ph. D. degree in the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from National Taiwan University Medical College in 2007. Lin completed his postdoctoral research on the dementia & Alzheimer’s disease in National Taiwan University Hospital, and then moved to Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University (Taiwan) in 2008 and has been promoted to Full Professor in 2019. His major interests are to understand the pathophysiological connections between brain aging and Alzheimer’s dementia, particularly studying molecular mechanisms of amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity, and applications of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. He is currently working to demonstrate that brain insulin resistance may play roles in neuronal aging features and contribute to pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and type 2 diabetes-associated dementia.

Shailendra Kumar Mishra is co-founder of Indian Scientific Education and Technology (ISET) Foundation, a non-profit/non-governmental organization that persuades toward the science promotion. He is Molecular Human Genetics postgraduate, skilled in DNA Sequencing, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA & Plasmid isolation, Gel electrophoresis, Molecular hybridization, DNA elution from agarose gel, bacterial transformation, quantitation of DNA, DNA sequencing technique and versed in various diagnostic techniques. He did Master of Science in Molecular and Human Genetics from Jiwaji University, India, and research project from Banaras Hindu University, India. He has published his articles in some international and national journals such as Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinsonism and Nature India. His major interest is to understand the aging process through molecular basis that could be beneficial to cure age-related diseases.
