Dr. Showkat Ahmad Bhat | Translational Research | Editorial Board Member

Associate Professor | Deptt. of Biochemistry, Govt. Medical College Handwara | India

Dr. Showkat Ahmad Bhat is an accomplished biochemist and academic leader whose work spans clinical biochemistry, cancer biology, molecular biology, proteomics, and communicable diseases, reflecting a career dedicated to advancing both fundamental understanding and applied biomedical research. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Government Medical College Handwara, he has developed a strong interdisciplinary portfolio with widely cited contributions across diverse domains, including the pharmacological potential of natural compounds, heavy metal toxicity, inflammatory mediators in metabolic disorders, animal and poultry health, and infectious disease pathogenesis. His research on bioactive phytochemicals such as zingerone, naringenin, and D-limonene has provided valuable insights into antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and organ-protective mechanisms, while his work on microbial threats such as Salmonella, gastrointestinal parasites, and foot-and-mouth disease has informed both veterinary and public health perspectives. Dr. Bhat has collaborated extensively with national and international researchers, contributing to reviews, experimental studies, and translational investigations published in reputable journals spanning medical, veterinary, and biochemical sciences. His scholarship also extends to emerging fields such as epigenetic markers and microRNAs in breast cancer, reflecting his commitment to integrating molecular diagnostics with clinical needs. Beyond research, he has helped shape scientific understanding in the Kashmir region by addressing local health challenges, supporting capacity-building, and promoting evidence-based approaches in clinical biochemistry and infectious disease management. His cumulative body of work underscores a sustained commitment to improving human and animal health through rigorous inquiry, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the pursuit of innovative, socially relevant solutions. He has 546 citations from 28 documents with an h-index of 10.
