Ankita PandeyDr. Ankita Pandey is an alumnus of CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India. In her active research career, she has made dedicated and sustained efforts to decipher the signalling cascade involved in the development of neuronal cels derived from human and animal stem cells. She has further investigated the influence of organophosphate pesticides on regulatory mechanisms of these stem cell-derived neuronal cells at various stages of maturity. Her research work has been instrumental in culminating the stem cell-based high-throughput in vitro system for assessing the neurotoxicity and developmental neurotoxicity potential of drugs and chemicals. She has several research papers in National and International journals of high repute that are well recognized and have a good number of citations. She has been the recipient of the most prestigious 'Tulsabai Somani Education Trust Award' conferred by the Indian Academy of Neurosciences. Read More Read Less
