Dr. Ahmad’s current research focuses on the pharmacologic regulation of inflammatory mechanisms in acute and chronic models of neurodegenerative diseases. His research is particularly focused on understanding the molecular basis of the protective role of some bioactive molecules that have demonstrated potential benefits in folkloric and traditional medicine in India. Dr. Ahmad is fascinated with the molecular mechanisms pertaining to neurodegeneration and regeneration. His researches pertain to stroke, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s employing both in vivo and in vitro models. The overall goal of the laboratory remains to slow down the disease progression of the neurodegenerative disease and eventually develop a modality against these dreaded diseases.

Dr. Ahmad is a career neuroscientist having worked immensely on stroke and Parkinson. He has published 45 research papers in his chosen field in the journals of repute. His researches have been cited 3280 times in literature and have an h-index of 30. Dr. Ahmad sits on editorial boards of some prestigious journals and some international reviewer panels in his field.
