Dr. Prabhakar Singh's research focuses on the morphological and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, ischemia, and cognitive dysfunction associated with obstructive sleep apnea. His work aims to unravel the complex pathways that lead to neuronal degeneration and cognitive impairments, with the goal of identifying potential therapeutic targets.
