This profile is part of a series to highlight the researchers who will be honored at a ceremony on Nov. 14 for UNMC\u2019s Scientist Laureate, Research Leadership, Distinguished Scientist and New Investigator Award recipients.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distinguished Scientist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Distinguished Scientist Awards, which are sponsored by the chancellor, recognize researchers who have been among the most productive scientists at UNMC during the past five years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Name: <\/strong>Subhash Chand, PhD<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Title: <\/strong>Assistant professor, Department of Anesthesiology, UNMC College of Medicine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Joined UNMC:<\/strong> 2018<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hometown:<\/strong> Azamgarh, India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Describe your research focus in three words or less:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HIV\/AIDS, substance abuse and neuroinflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why is research important in the world today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Research is crucial for advancing knowledge and is foundational to progress across all areas of life. In my laboratory, we are investigating the molecular mechanism of HIV\/AIDS and substance abuse-associated neuroinflammation and neurocognitive impairments and their possible treatments. We also are exploring the potential of extracellular vesicles (exosomes) in drug loading and targeted drug delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My research will make a difference because:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HIV and substance abuse constitute a health syndemic and contribute a significant economic burden. Treatment options for neuroinflammation in HIV patients with substance abuse are limited, and despite various advancements, existing treatments fall short of directly targeting neuroinflammation and associated neurocognitive impairments. HIV and substance abuse induce neuroinflammation through the upregulation of the inflammatory pathway. Cannabidiol, a component of cannabis, might serve as a potential treatment option by downregulating this pathway. Our research on cannabidiol has the potential to decrease neurocognitive decline associated with HIV and substance abuse. Developing these therapies will directly benefit vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The best advice I\u2019ve ever received is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have patience; you will get your due in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Three things you may not know about me are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • I like cooking and inviting friends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • I enjoy playing and watching cricket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • I love following international culture and politics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
