Dr. Sudarshan Surendran has a master’s degree in Human Anatomy and a PhD in Neuroscience from Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India. In his doctoral study, the morphological changes in the hippocampus in rat model of epilepsy were investigated. He is a recognized guide for doctoral studies under Manipal Academy of Higher Education and currently has four Doctoral candidates working under his supervision. He has supervised and completed more than 16 undergraduate mini projects. He has over 35 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals. His ongoing research projects with collaborators include metabolomic alterations in brain tissues in epilepsy, nephrotoxicity by anticancer drugs and protective effects by natural resources, nutrition and brain development, and impact of LED light on alterations in metabolomics of vitreous humour and modifications in the visual cortex. He has won five best presenter awards at International scientific conferences. His area of interest also extends into medical education. His study has been presented at international conferences (best paper awarded – one) and published in peer-reviewed journals.
He is currently Associate Professor of Anatomy at American University of Antigua College of Medicine, Antigua, and is a system coordinator for GI1.
