About Swapnil Pandey

Dr. Swapnil Pandey is a highly accomplished researcher with a strong foundation in aging, neurobiology, and stress biology. He earned his Ph.D. in October 2020 from the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, and the National Botanical Research Institute, India. His doctoral research focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying stress resistance, longevity promotion, and neuroprotection, utilizing the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. Dr. Pandey’s work in this area centered on investigating the beneficial effects of exogenous plant-based molecules and novel natural compounds, resulting in a significant body of work published in peer-reviewed international journals. Dr. Pandey currently working as Post Doctoral Associate at the McKnight Brain Institute within the Department of Neurology at the University of Florida, under the mentorship of Dr. Diego Rincon Limas in the Neurotarget Fly Lab (https://neurology.ufl.edu/divisions/neurotargets-fly-lab/) . His current research endeavors are directed towards pioneering the development and implementation of cutting-edge technologies to unravel the intricate molecular pathways that contribute to neurodegeneration. Furthermore, he aims to identify and validate potential therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases. To achieve these objectives, Dr. Pandey employs a comprehensive and multidisciplinary strategy, integrating Drosophila genetics, advanced neuroscience techniques, molecular biology, biochemistry, and proteomics in his investigations. His current research trajectory builds upon his doctoral expertise and reflects a commitment to translational research with the ultimate goal of developing effective interventions for neurodegenerative disorders.
