Rate My Professor Faraz Ahmad

At Otago, Ahmad co-authored several influential papers advancing the understanding of neurodegeneration. These include "Synaptosome as a tool in Alzheimer’s disease research" (Brain Research, 2020), which discusses the application of synaptosomes in studying Alzheimer's pathology; "Chemical Stimulation of Rodent and Human Cortical Synaptosomes: Implications in Neurodegeneration" (Cells, 2021), exploring stimulation protocols for synaptosomes; "Behavioural Functions and Cerebral Blood Flow in a P301S Tauopathy Mouse Model: A Time-Course Study" (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021), analyzing tauopathy progression; and "A Time-Efficient Fluorescence Spectroscopy-Based Assay for the Assessment of Synaptic Mitochondrial Function and Toxicity" (Biomolecules, 2021), introducing a novel assay for mitochondrial assessment. His research was supported by the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand (grant number 1835-PG) and the Department of Anatomy, University of Otago. These contributions have informed synaptic redox homeostasis and neuroprotective mechanisms. Following Otago, Ahmad became Associate Professor at Vellore Institute of Technology's School of Bio Sciences and Technology.
