Brief Biography:


Dr. Anant B. Patel obtained his master in Chemistry with Physical Chemistry specialization from Department of Chemistry, Banaras Hindu University in 1993 and Ph. D. in Chemistry entitled "NMR Studies of Biomolecular Systems" from the Department of Chemical Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundmamental Research / Mumbai University, Mumbai in 1999. He was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre (MRRC), Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA from 1999-2003. He served as Associate Research Scientist at Yale MRRC from 2003-2006. He joined the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad as a senior scientist in June 2006. He has started in vivo NMR imaging and spectroscopy program in the institute and carrying out research in the field of in vivo NMR spectroscopy.
 

Academic positions:


1999-2001 Postdoctoral Research Associate, Dept. Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Yale Univ. 2001-2003 Postdoctoral Research Associate, Dept. Department of Psychiatry, Yale Univ. 2003-2006 Associate Research Scientist, Diagnostic Radiology, Yale University. 2006-present Senior Scientist, NMR Microimaging and Spectroscopy, CCMB, Hyderabad, India
 

Research interests:


Dr. Patel's research interests are understanding metabolic basis of various diseases/disorders related with nervous system. One major area of focus in his laboratory is in understanding how excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission are affected during normal ageing and in Alzeimer's and Parkinson's disease. The other areas of research in his laboratory include understanding glutamatergic and GABAergic metabolism in addictions, depressions.

What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:


It is a very important forum which provides open access of articles to many scientist who could not afford to pay the subcription chanrges of many of the journals.
