Aligarh, UTTAR PRADESH :

Aligarh:

The Aligarh Muslim University alumna Saba Ishrat led a research at the University of Oxford to study the effects of cannabis use on the brain structure and function in older adults. Saba’s ground-breaking research has gained significant attention and has been covered by various media outlets worldwide, including BMJ Mental Health journal, internationally recognising its findings and highlighting the importance of this work for public policy.

Prior to starting her DPhil in Oxford, Saba Ishrat completed a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Psychology at Aligarh Muslim University (India) and a second Master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Trento (Italy).

Her teacher, Prof Shah Alam, Chairman, Department of Psychology, and Prof Shafey Kidwai, Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University congratulated Ms Saba Ishrat for her commendable research that has brought new dimensions to the fore.

It needs to be mentioned that cannabis use has risen globally following its legalisation for medical and recreational purposes, yet its effects on the brain in older adults remain understudied.

The team led by Saba Ishrat, conducted the largest observational analysis to date on the relationship between cannabis use and brain structure and function. This research is also the first to employ genetic data to assess causality in this context.

The study’s findings indicate that lifetime cannabis use is associated with several measures of brain structure and function in later life, including lower white matter integrity and weaker resting-state functional connectivity in specific brain regions. However, the study’s genetic analyses did not support a causal link between these observed associations.

Alongside her DPhil studies, Saba is the Junior Dean at St Cross College, a committee member at St Edmund Hall’s Centre for the Creative Brain, and a student associate of the Society for the Study of Addiction.

Mangaluru, KARNATAKA :

Mangaluru: 

Aiming to contribute a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment, Mangaluru girl Salwa has successfully completed her Ph.D. in a unique area of pharmaceutical research focused on developing lipid nano-carriers for oral delivery of an anti-Alzheimer’s drug. Her research offers promising advancements in the treatment of AD, a condition affecting millions globally and growing in prevalence.

Guided by Dr. Lalit Kumar, former Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics, and co-guided by Dr. C Mallikarjuna Rao, Professor of Pharmacology, both from the Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Salwa’s work addresses the urgent need for more effective drug delivery mechanisms to treat Alzheimer’s beyond temporary relief.

Alzheimer’s, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, has been challenging to treat due to limited therapeutic options, especially those capable of effectively reaching the brain. Her research seeks to improve brain-targeted drug delivery using lipid nano-carriers, potentially offering a scalable, industry-ready solution that could change the approach toward treating Alzheimer’s disease and provide real improvements in quality of life for patients.

The young researcher has a strong academic background, having qualified for the Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) with an All India Rank (AIR) of 724, which earned her a fellowship for postgraduate studies. She was awarded a prestigious National Doctoral Fellowship (NDF) from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and received intramural research funding from Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) for her Ph.D. research.

Her parents, the late Abdul Samad and Sahira Banu, and her siblings have been an enduring inspiration throughout her academic and research journey. The young researcher’s future plans include furthering her work to explore how her developed nano-carrier system could support neuronal regeneration, potentially advancing Alzheimer’s treatment options for millions worldwide.
