About
Nischith S. S. is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacy, teaching pharmacognosy and allied subjects with an emphasis on interactive, concept-oriented learning that connects theory to practical application. He completed his master’s degree at Adichunchanagiri University, where he is currently awaiting his PhD degree.
His research interests lie in natural products and their therapeutic potential, drawing on both experimental and computational approaches. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national conferences.
Development of standardised, bioactive-enriched extracts using ultrasonic and probe-sonication techniques, optimised through statistical design of experiments (Box–Behnken and Central Composite Designs) within a response surface methodology framework.
Bioassay-guided column fractionation to isolate hepatoprotective fractions, and evaluation of rationally designed polyherbal antioxidant and polyphenolic blends against drug-induced liver injury.
Assessment of antidiabetic, anti-glycation, anti-amyloid and neurotoxic-enzyme inhibitory activity of flavonoid-rich extracts, along with diabetic wound healing management.
Anticancer evaluation of selected natural extracts, and strategies against antimicrobial resistance combining natural compounds with nanoparticle-based approaches.
Valorisation of fruit-processing residues into bioactives for skin health and cosmetic applications, supported by the integration of experimental pharmacology, phytochemistry and computational methods
Research Interests
His research interests lie in natural bioactives and their therapeutic potential, spanning optimised extraction using response surface methodology, standardisation of assays, and the development of nutraceuticals. Evaluation areas include hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, anti-glycation, neuroprotective, wound-healing and anticancer activity, alongside antimicrobial resistance and valorisation of fruit-processing residues, integrating experimental and computational approaches
Undergraduate Research Grant, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), 2019–20 , Awarded with a grant sum of ₹15,000 for the project "Exploitation of Eleusine coracana (Finger Millet) as a Potential Nutritional Agent"
