About Dr. Nandhakumar
My name is Dr. E.Nandhakumar My passion of studies and hard work had driven me
to seek admission for post graduation in a city after finishing my graduation in the field of
Biochemistry. After joining post graduate degree in a city college, I flourished and my
knowledge was enhanced. I had ample time to discover my interest towards science field. I
made use of this opportunity well and when I was asked to do a small project at the post
graduate level I took immense interest and with all hard work I had completed my project
successfully and also published my research work in a reputed journal.
This further kindled my interest in research and I finally landed up in joining for a
doctoral degree in the Department of Medical Biochemistry, University of Madras which is
one of the prestigious and also oldest Universities of India. As a doctoral student, I was
successful in formulating the herbal preparation Shemamruthaa and also finding out the
biochemical and molecular mechanisms behind its curative effect.
In the past three years I have largely focused on my research career, evolving into an
independent scientist. I have used this time to generate manuscripts and further my own
education in the form of doing part time work as a Biochemist in Diagnostic centre.
I have published 15 papers in both national and International peer reviewed journals
with high impact factors. I am also happy that all my research articles are being well cited
and have high citation indices. Also I used the opportunity to present and discuss my
research work with eminent persons from other institutions by participating and presenting
papers in seminars and conferences. I have got best presentation award in international
conference. i have also got a grant rupees more than thirty lakhs from DST SERB which is
nearing to end . I have sent many project proposal to various funding agencies in India to get
grants.
Though my primary short-and long-term goals will still focus on continuing my
current line of research inquiry, I would like to devote more time and effort to nurturing the
next generation of global health researchers.
In the next decade, I strongly believe it is my responsibility to facilitate the growth of
a new cadre of international health researchers.
My long term research goals are to take on leadership roles in research and public
health to provide the most cost-effective and clinically relevant interventions for people
across various ethnic and economic backgrounds.
