Ms. Yogitha P.S | Nutritional Biochemistry | Best Researcher Award

Ms. Yogitha P.S | Sastra Deemed University | India

Ms. Yogitha P.S is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Biochemistry with a research focus in Nutritional Biochemistry at SASTRA Deemed University, Kumbakonam. She completed her M.Sc. in Biochemistry from the same institution with 87% (2021–2023) and her B.Sc. in Biochemistry with 79% (2018–2021). Her research explores the molecular and nutritional dimensions of neurodevelopmental disorders, with a particular emphasis on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the gut–brain axis, microbiome modulation, and nutraceutical-based therapeutic strategies. She has published 9 peer-reviewed research articles in recognized journals, including Computational Biology and Chemistry, Biomedical & Pharmacology Journal, Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science, Multidisciplinary Reviews, and the South Eastern European Journal of Public Health. Notable works include studies on fortified tofu red banana peel-based nutritional modulation in ASD, signaling pathway targets for neurodevelopmental therapy, gut microbiota influences in multiple sclerosis, and systematic reviews on the gut-brain axis. Her scholarly contributions have accumulated citations in 3 citing documents, reflecting emerging recognition in the domain, and she holds an h-index of 1. In addition to her research output, she serves as a reviewer for Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology (Elsevier) and the SBV Journal of Basic, Clinical and Applied Health Science, demonstrating active engagement in academic quality enhancement and peer evaluation. Her research trajectory positions her toward impactful advancements in nutritional neuroscience and clinical biochemistry.
