معرفی
Dr. Brahmaiah Pendyala serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at Tennessee State University's College of Agriculture, a position he assumed in July 2022. His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad, an M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Periyar University, and a B.Sc. in Microbiology from Acharya Nagarjuna University.
His research program centers on phytochemistry and chemo-bioinformatics, specifically targeting natural bioactive compounds with antiviral, antimicrobial, anticancer, and senolytic properties. By employing computational methods like molecular docking and in silico screening, Dr. Pendyala identifies promising food-derived compounds for disease prevention and health promotion, bridging agricultural science with pharmacological applications.
Analysis of his recent publications (2016-2022) reveals two dominant research thrusts: computational discovery of bioactive compounds against viral pathogens (notably SARS-CoV-2) and aging-related conditions, and engineering applications of UV-C technology for microbial inactivation in food systems. His work spans food science, pharmacology, and sustainable engineering, appearing in journals including Frontiers in Microbiology, Food Research International, and ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.
