Dr Nitin Chitranshi

Biography

Dr Chitranshi has joined University of New England in 2024 as a full time Senior Lecturer in School of Science and Technology. He is an accomplished researcher and academician with a diverse background in pharmaceutical sciences, clinical neuroscience, biomedical sciences and computational biology. He holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Pharmacy, and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Medicine from Macquarie University, Australia. Before joining UNE, Dr Chitranshi has worked as a Lecturer (Level B) and Unit Convenor of Clinical Neuroscience at Macquarie University.

Dr Chitranshi’s current research focus revolves around unraveling the molecular mechanisms linked to irreversible vision loss in primary open-angle glaucoma, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dr. Chitranshi's contributions extend to peer-reviewed publications that shed light on paradigm shifts in ophthalmic diagnosis and care models for individuals with impaired vision in various neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). His proficiency in proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics enhances the understanding of complex diseases like MS and AD at the molecular level.

With a prolific academic record, he has authored more than 70 research publications and actively participated in over 100 national and international conferences. He has enriched his experience as a Visiting Scientist at prestigious institutions, including Cambridge University (UK), University of Miami (USA), Medical University of Wein (Austria), University of Strasbourg (France), University of Wurzburg (Germany), and University de Murcia (Spain).
