About Anand Kamal Sachdeva

Expertise in development of behavioural models for studying pain (acute, inflammatory, chronic and neuropathic pain (spinal nerve ligation and chronic nerve constriction models) and CNS related disorders (Alzheimer’s, depression, anxiety, Parkinson's disease and movement disorders). • Expertise in brain stereotaxic surgery, spinal and sciatic nerve ligation surgeries, bulbectomy and ovariectomy. • In-vivo microdialysis technique to study the neurotransmitter levels in rat brain • Different in-vitro techniques such as ELISA (for different cytokines, inflammatory mediators and neuropeptides) and student physiograph • Different neurochemical techniques such as HPLC with electrochemical detector and UV detector in biological samples • Handling of AD instruments for estimation of nerve conduction velocity as well as non-invasive blood pressure measurement in rats • Handling of biopac instruments for estimation of ECG, EEG measurement in humans • Different neuro-surgical techniques such as intra-cerebroventricular (i.c.v), intra-striatal, intra-nigral, intra-hippocampal, and intrathecal administration of drugs • Operation handling in Western blotting and RT-PCR for estimating various gene expression levels
