Rate My Professor Devinder Arora

Arora's research focuses on pharmacology, with contributions to understanding neuroinflammation, the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in depression, astrocytic glutamatergic transmission in Alzheimer's disease, and neuroprotective effects of compounds in models of stress-induced depression and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment. His publications, numbering over 60, have accumulated more than 2,200 citations. Key works include 'Astrocytic Glutamatergic Transmission and Its Implications in Alzheimer's Disease' (2022), 'Protection against Radiotherapy-Induced Toxicity: New Hopes for Cancer Patients?' (2016), 'An Overview on Chemotherapy-Induced Cognitive Impairment and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor: Implications in Breast Cancer Survivorship' (2020), 'Involvement of NLRP3 Inflammasome Pathway in the Pathophysiology of Depression' (2023), and 'Hydroxycinnamates Alleviate Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress-Induced Depressive-Like Behaviour' (2025). He teaches pharmacology courses such as Pharmacology for Oral Health and supervises PhD students. Arora has engaged in international collaborations, including visits to Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences to guide PhD research and conduct workshops on post-doctoral career development. He has also served as an expert commentator on pharmacological topics.
