Parkinson's Disease Therapeutics

Magisetty Obulesu is a research associate at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Tirupati, India. He has 20 years of research and teaching experience. He is also an editorial board of nanotechnology journals including SciFed Nanotech Research Letters, SciFed Drug Delivery Research, Current Updates in Nanotechnology and Journal of Nanotechnology and Materials Science. His research areas include food science, pathology of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, designing polymer-based biomaterials such as hydrogels, and development of metal chelators to overcome metal induced toxicity. He has researched Alzheimer’s disease and developed an aluminium-induced neurotoxicity rabbit model. Mr. Obulesu’s present research focuses on development of redox-active injectable hydrogels of polyion complex. He has written three books and edited two more; he is also the first and corresponding author for majority of his articles.

"This is a good introduction to the world of alternative therapies for Parkinson's disease, especially for researchers interested in that area. What makes this book unique is the lack of other similar titles in the field." --Doody
