Need for multifunctional neuroprotective agent for Parkinson's disease and its early detection and therapy using imaging contrast agents.
The proposal relies on the development of multifunctional cerium oxide neuroprotective nanoparticles with co-substitution strategy imparting both fluorescence and MR contrast features, thus, providing a powerful tool for neuroprotection and diagnosis of PD.
Rugmani Meenambal earned her Ph.D. from Pondicherry University, India, on the thesis "Synthesis and structural insights of Ln3+ doped β-Ca3(PO4)2 and LnPO4 contrast agents for multimodal imaging applications" in 2018. She was employed at the Department of Science and Technology funded INSPIRE project at NIMHANS during 2018-2022. Currently, she is working under the PASIFIC Programme at the Institute of Pharmacology of the PAS.
