Narayan, Mahesh: - Dr. Mahesh Narayan is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso in the United States. Dr Narayan obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from Bombay University [1991], Ph.D. in Biophysics from The Ohio State University [1997], and pursued postdoctoral studies at Cornell University, USA [1997-2000] and was a Sr. Res. Assoc. at Cornell University [2002-05], USA. He has authored and co-authored several articles and book chapters in the fields of free radical biology, protein-structure function, oxidative folding, and protein misfolding, halogen bonding and in silico drug design, agricultural impact of nanomaterials, and chemical education. His work has been recognized by invitations to speak at over 15 international forums, as well as coverage in a variety of media outlets. The overall goal of his research program is to develop a better understanding of the intracellular processes and events that underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. He is particularly interested in the effects of xenobiotics on amyloid proteins. This is since the majority of neurodegenerative disorders are sporadic, and environmental agents such as pesticides and certain drugs of abuse are risk factors for such neuropathies.
