Dr. Asim Bepari

Dr. Asim Kumar Bepari is passionate about teaching and research. His works aim to elucidate the pathophysiology of human diseases and, in the long run, find better therapeutic interventions to improve quality of life. Dr. Bepari was at Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan, for his doctoral study (2009–2013) in life sciences. For mapping brain activity, he utilized different sophisticated techniques of molecular and cellular neuroscience using in vivo (mouse, chick) and cell culture models. Dr. Bepari worked as a guest researcher (Jan–Dec 2012) and as a postdoctoral researcher (Apr–Jun 2013) in the laboratory of Professor Dr. Hirohide Takebayashi at the Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan. Dr. Bepari then completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, Dallas, Texas, USA. At NSU Pharmacy, Dr. Bepari has been teaching several courses, including human physiology, pharmaceutical analysis, and pharmaceutical chemistry. In collaboration with Professor Hirohide Takabayashi’s research group in Japan and fellow researchers at NSU, Dr. Bepari is working on several projects, including computer-aided drug discovery and molecular mechanisms regulating nervous system development.
