Psychiatry. He has worked on various national and international projects related to Ageing and Disorders of Ageing and contributed well to the field of neuroimaging. He has been carrying out research on multiple modalities of neuroimaging including structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) as well as magnetoencephalography (MEG) in disorders of ageing, specifically early Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). He has got his research work published in various national and international indexed journals of repute including American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, Brain Imaging and Behavior and Brain connectivity etc.Moreover, he has also received national and international travel grants on multiple occasions to present his research. Himanshu is a vital cog in the Multimodal Brain Image Analysis Laboratory (MBIAL) as well as Geriatric Clinic research team and has diligently completed important assignments related to analysis of MRI, MEG as well as neuropsychological data. He has adequate experience in working with programming languages using cluster computing.He has designed a novel task based cognitive paradigm for administration in patients with AD and MCI during fMRI and MEG acquisitions. He is trained in performing neuropsychological assessments and recruitment of patients from the Geriatric Clinic and Services (GCS). He also holds interests in developing novel peer teaching and learning strategies focusing on fundamentals of neuroscience.

across multiple brain conditions, using neuroimaging. Given her background in psychology, her fascination also runs into how the brain works when we dream and the neural work involving subconscious information processing. She also had a fair share of learning done in imaging modalities like fMRI, fNIRS, and DTI. She also has a parallel career in the film industry to keep the creative part of her brain alive ! :)

Tamilnadu Dr MGR Medical University. Thereafter, she pursued a fellowship in Psychiatric Rehabilitation at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) between 2018 and 2019. She is also a Diplomate of the National Board of Education, New Delhi. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Clinical Neurosciences from NIMHANS since 2019 and is working as a Clinician Scientist in India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health since April 2023. Her areas of expertise and interest include mental health rehabilitation, geriatric psychiatry, neurocognitive disorders, and non-invasive brain stimulation in neurocognitive disorders.

She is fascinated by the study of complex human behaviour and patterns, especially in how they translate into having a positive impact in people's lives. She was drawn to the uncharted potential of Neuroimaging studies in integrating both her interests and her multidisciplinary academic background in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science and Technology. Presently, her primary endeavors revolve around exploring brain morphometry and functional connectivity across sexes in the healthy aging population. Her overarching objective is to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications, particularly in the realm of brain-machine interface systems. She actively indulges in literature, sports, art, and music, apart from her academic pursuits, to develop an enriching and well-rounded perspective towards science and life!

Prior to that she completed PG Diploma in counselling psychology in 2019.She has done her post-graduation in MSW from Loyola College of Social Sciences, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Currently, she serves as a Junior Research Fellow on Psycho-Social Aspectsin India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health since April 2023. Her area of interest lies in working with children, adolescents, and geriatric populations offering support and therapeutic intervention.

Her interests revolve around neurobiology, genetics, and developmental biology, and a growing passion towards neuroimaging. At the ENIGMA INDIA Aging program, she looks forward to gaining invaluable knowledge from a multi-faceted approach towards Alzheimer's disease research, and she hopes to contribute to the work done here. She also loves writing, literature, movies, and dance. She is also an author, under the Prime Minister's YUVA scheme!

He has concentrated experience in the administrative domain at NIMHANS and aims to enhance his skillset in the ENIGMA consortium while working towards the team goals of the project. He believes this would help him supplement his aspirations to become a civil servant.
Apart from this, he also indulges in travelling, hiking, and writing, which have been an integral part of his journey towards becoming a well-rounded individual.

miRNA-curcumin-mediated regulation in cervical cancer cells, and cellular aging markers like Telomere length attrition & mitochondrial copy number variation in Huntington's disease. Currently, she is working on dissecting the genetic overlap between neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. At India-ENIGMA Ageing program, she aims to understand the genetic heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) which makes a set of people vulnerable or resilient towards the disease progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment to mild AD and then to AD.  She will study AD heterogeneity by employing genetic & epigenetic tools like Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), miRnome & global methylation analysis.

Additionally, he helps in managing the records and administrative functions of the lab. He is a cricket enthusiast and also loves music as well as staying updated with current affairs.

in Neurology and Psychiatry Department (2022). Currently, she serves as a Junior Research Fellow (clinical) in India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health since July 2023. Her area of interest lies in working with adult psychiatry and geriatric population.

She was practicing as an occupational therapist providing rehabilitative services for adults with neurological disorders. Her interest in dementia care piqued while she was exploring caregiver's experiences in managing occupations of people with dementia when it comes to managing their daily occupations. Prior to joining ENIGMA, she coordinated a project under Geriatrics Clinics and Services, NIMHANS - Alzheimer's-SEVA, which further expanded her interests in community-based interventions to enable early diagnosis and support persons with dementia and their caregivers. She is currently working as Junior Research Fellow (community & liaison worker) in India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health since October 2023.

She currently serves as a Junior Research Fellow in Biostatistics in the India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health since September 2023. She looks forward to make the best use of her statistical, analytical, and problem-solving skills to bring changes and thus improve the quality of life for those suffering due to various health conditions. Her interests include Multivariate techniques, Epidemiology, and Survival Analysis.

 

She has obtained a diploma degree in medical lab technician from Gangotri Paramdecial College, Shivamogga. She even has experience in lab techniques related to clinical biochemistry and clinical pathology. She is a motivated worker experienced in blood sample collection at camps and has even worked with tribal community for blood sample collection.
