(A) Offering research supervision, biogerontology course, public lectures, and anti-aging industrial consultancy:

Research supervision

For MSc, PhD research projects, I offer research topics, guidance, training and supervision. My main interest and expertise is in the area of biology of aging (Biogerontology).

Using the experimental system of cellular aging of human fibroblasts, osteoblasts, keratinocytes, and various immortalized cell lines, studies can be undertaken to:
 

• describe new age-related changes at the levels of gene expression, protein synthesis, protein turnover, protein modifications;
• test various compounds for their potential anti-aging effects, by using the above molecular parameters; and
• develop new ways of intervening in the aging process by stimulating the vitagene pathways: such approaches include the use of repeated mild stress as a challenge and a stimulant (hormesis).

Public and professional lectures

Public and professional lectures on the scientific and social aspects of aging are offered in the following formats:

1. Secrets of Long Life

A 50-60 min lecture on the process of aging, and practical approaches on achieving a healthy old age and living a longer life. Suitable for general public irrespective of the age and educational background. (also offered in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and Danish languages).
 

2. Why We Grow Old

A 50-60 min. lecture on the biology of aging and recent developments in anti-aging therapies. Suitable for students, teachers and general public with some background in science.
 

3. Biogerontology course

A series of lectures (duration ranging from 10 to 20 hours; each lecture of about 2 hours) covering the field of aging research and anti-aging therapies. Suitable for MSc, MBBS, MPhil, PhD, MD students and researchers, and health-care professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers.

  Consultancy and advisory services
 

• Consultancy and advisory services (including project evaluation and refereeing) to organizations and companies engaged in R&D and product development for healthcare and aging-prevention.

 

• Research collaboration and drug testing: Research projects can be developed that suit specifically to your need of testing potential anti-aging compounds and drugs.

 

(B)  Social and cultural activities

In addition to the scientific offers above, I can also offer to play North Indian drums, Tabla, to accompany with Indian classical music, folk singing, jazz and new age fusion music.
