Srinagar/IBNS: Dr. Nawab John Dar, a Kashmiri-born scientist renowned for his fervent dedication to unraveling the intricacies of the human brain, has garnered international recognition for his groundbreaking research focused on neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Dr. Dar's pioneering work delves deep into the intricate interplay of iron accumulation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage in the relentless progression of Alzheimer's disease. His scientific investigations have unveiled the pivotal role played by iron dysregulation in Alzheimer's pathology, contributing to oxidative stress and cellular damage, ANI reports.

"Iron accumulation has emerged as a significant factor in Alzheimer's pathology, contributing to oxidative stress and cellular damage," explained Dr. Dar to ANI.

His research aims to decode the intricate molecular mechanisms linking iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and the iron-dependent form of cell death known as oxytosis or ferroptosis.

A distinguished alumnus of the Green Valley Educational Institute in Kashmir, Dr. Dar has made significant strides in the field of neuroscience in the United States.

Currently serving as a distinguished Scientist at The Salk Institute in California, USA, his exceptional contributions have earned him a coveted spot in the prestigious Marquis Who's Who in America list. Dr. Dar has recently been nominated for Sigma Xi Full membership, a distinction that acknowledges his remarkable contributions to scientific advancement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In pursuit of his noble mission to revolutionize healthcare, particularly in the Jammu and Kashmir region, Dr. Dar founded TELEPRAC, an innovative organization that leverages modern technology to ensure equitable healthcare access.

"TELEPRAC is more than just a concept; it's a movement aimed at democratizing healthcare. Our focus is on leveraging telemedicine to bridge gaps and provide medical assistance to those who need it the most," shared Dr. Dar.

Dr. Dar's current research endeavors focus on bridging the knowledge gaps between lipid peroxidation, iron accumulation, and oxytosis/ferroptosis in Alzheimer's pathology. By shedding light on these intricate connections, his work offers invaluable insights into the molecular underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease, holding immense promise for advancing Alzheimer's research and transforming the healthcare landscape.

With an unwavering dedication to scientific excellence and a commitment to alleviating human suffering, Dr. Nawab John Dar's remarkable journey continues to inspire and contribute significantly to the advancement of scientific knowledge and innovation.
