Biography
Dr B Saatheeyavaane is an Lecturer in Neuroscience at Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University Malaysia. She received her BSc from AIMST University in 2008 and then obtained her PhD from Monash University in 2019. Her PhD research project dealt with the evaluation of the neuroprotective effect of natural compound against Alzheimer’s disease by targeting the multifactorial condition and further develop into drug for treatment and/or prevention of AD.
Her current research focused on Precision Neuroscience for Neurological and Mental Health Disorders, aims to advance translational approaches that improve understanding and treatment of brain health conditions. The work integrates molecular biology, neuropharmacology, and nanoformulation-based delivery systems to investigate disease mechanisms and develop targeted therapeutic strategies. Building on expertise in neurodegeneration and brain cancer, current efforts explore neurochemical pathways, biomarker discovery, precision interventions, and innovative therapeutic approaches. Through collaborations with academic, clinical, and industry partners, her research seeks to translate laboratory discoveries into practical applications, enhancing mental health outcomes and community well-being.
