Despite ongoing research, the neurological basis of these difficulties is not yet fully understood. Currently, as part of my ELSC fellowship, I am researching the behavioral changes observed in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by recording their brain activity through EEG. Prior to this, I worked on the hypothesis of the involvement of metals that inhibit the Na+, K+-ATPase in the etiology of psychiatric disease (Bipolar disorder) and Endogenous cardiac steroids involvement in BD, and cardiac failure during my second post-doctoral training at the Department of Medical Neurobiology, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel under the supervision of Prof. David Lichtstein from 2020-2022. Before joining the Hebrew University, I was a postdoctoral researcher working with Biomaterial Sciences at the National State-Key Laboratory of Surface Engineering, School of Materials Sciences and Engineering, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an, P.R. China (2018-2020). I received my Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Mysore, India. My thesis work aimed to explore the silkworm genome of Bombyx mori, using bio-molecular tools to identify the immunocompetence and the genetic hardiness of Bombyx mori. I started my research career as a Junior research fellow in 2010 at the Central Sericultural Germplasm Resource Centre, Central Silk Board, Hosur.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Individuals diagnosed with autism often face social challenges and other unique difficulties related to their condition.
