Highly Ranked Scholar for Prior Five Years: In the Traditional medicine in the top 0.05% of all
Sasidharan Sreenivasan
Assoc. Prof., Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia
Research field:Microbiology and Pharmacology.
Prof. Sasidharan Sreenivasan is a pharmaceutical biologist and pharmacognosist with extensive research experience in the transdisciplinary aspects of medicinal plant research. His primary aim is to highlight the importance of medicinal plants in drug discovery. In recent years, herbal remedies have gained recognition as dietary supplements for disease prevention and as alternative/complementary medicine. The WHO estimates that 80% of the world's population relies on traditional herbal medicine for primary healthcare. While thousands of plants have been documented in traditional medicine, few studies have explored how these wild resources are integrated into modern medicine. Prof. Sasidharan Sreenivasan's scientific research on medicinal plants, based on modern methods, has significantly contributed to the generation of scientific data, leading to the integration of this knowledge into modern medicine.

He is member of the Italian Society for Cancer Research (SIC) and of Italian Society of Experimental Hematology (SIES) and Pathology (SIPMET). He delivered oral presentations at international and national scientific meetings. During his career, Nicola Amodio was awarded, for his scientific activity, by Fondazione Filli Funaro, the Italian Association for Cell Cultures (AICC), Soroptimist Club Varese, American Society of Haematology, Fondazione Umberto Veronesi, and other italian agencies. NA is currently Section editor in chief of “Cancers” journal and part of the Editorial Board of international peer-reviewed journals (Plos One, Non-Coding RNA, Frontiers in Pharmacology) Major focus of Dr. Nicola Amodio’s research has been the identification of novel molecularly-based therapies for cancers using integrated genomic/epigenomic analyses. Overall, NA research activity has provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of hematological malignancies, as multiple myeloma, and the framework for the development of innovative anti-cancer therapeutics, using non-coding RNA- targeting oligonucleotides and small molecules. Nicola Amodio’s studies have led to the identification of novel cancer vulnerabilities, including non-coding RNAs and transcription factors, with diagnostic and therapeutic potential; his studies have been highly cited and discussed by journal editorials, and have provided the molecular rationale for ongoing clinical trials in Italian and US institutions using small molecules and microRNA antagonists to treat hematological malignancies.
