Dr. K. P. Singh is currently working as a professor in the Department of Zoology, University of Allahabad, Allahabad, INDIA. He started his research on Developmental Neurotoxicity of CNS Acting Drugs covering the broad area of neuropsycopharmacology including neuroanatomy, pharmacology, neurochemistry and neurobehaviour in rodent (Rat/Mice) model. At present, his neurobiology laboratory is involved to investigate the effect of novel pschycotropic (Antiepileptic, Antipsychotic, Antidepressant) drug exposure during pregnancy and lactation on fetal/neonatal birth defects, neuropathological alterations in different regions of fetal brain viz, Cerebral cortex, Caudate putamen, Hippocampus and Cerebellum etc., neurodevelopmental delay in offspring as well as long–lasting impact on neurobehavioural impairment in young-adult offspring. This laboratory is also engaged to find out the involved interactive mechanisms through neurotransmitters, nerve growth factors, apoptotic neurodegeneration, pro-apoptotic (Bax) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl2) protein expression, glial-neuronal cell interactions and genotoxicity of drugs.

Zhou Wu, PhD., is chair of department of Aging Science and Pharmacology, Faculty of Dental Science at the Kyushu University at Fukuoka, Japan. She graduated from medical college of Jilin University and worked as a clinic doctor for 10 years in China. She received her PhD from Kyushu University in 2001 and received postdoctoral fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2002-2004) in Japan. After worked as an assistant professor in the Laboratory of Oral Aging Science (2004-2009), she promoted to associate professor in the Department of Aging Science and Pharmacology at the Kyushu University from 2010. Dr. Wu’s research is primarily focused on how systemic inflammation affects the onset and pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease at molecular and cellular levels. Dr. Wu's works is particularly interested in the functions of Cathepsins, the lysosomal enzymes, in innate and adaptive immunity, in particular how Cathepsins mediate pro-inflammatory molecule productions to amplify inflammation as well as in Aging andï€ Alzheimer’s disease. It is to be noted that Dr. Wu’s current works of clarifying the involvement of cathepsins in P. gingivalis- related periodontitis in onset and pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Wu’ s research is also interest in regulation of oxidative stress-related neuroinflammation, as well as systemic inflammation by nature production, which connect to innovate the early intervention approaches for prevention and clinic management of Alzheimer’s disease.
