Ph.D Researcher | Korea Institute of Science and Technology | South Korea
Ms. Tamanna Yasmin, affiliated with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, conducts interdisciplinary research at the interface of neurobiology, metabolism, and natural-product pharmacology. Her work focuses on understanding how metabolic modulation affects neuronal excitability and energy homeostasis, with particular emphasis on obesity and metabolic disorders. She has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds, such as gintonin from Korean red ginseng, in preclinical models, bridging natural-product research with neuroscience and metabolic disease. To date, she has authored 3 peer-reviewed publications, which have collectively received 67 citations and contributed to an h-index of 1, reflecting a growing impact within the scientific community. Collaborating across disciplines including pharmacology, nutrition, and biomedical sciences, she advances both fundamental knowledge and translational approaches for metabolic and neurophysiological health. Her work holds promise for developing innovative, physiology-based interventions that address global challenges in metabolic disorders, obesity, and brain-body health.
