Darshna Yagnik

Dr. Darshna Yagnik is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Middlesex University, with a primary appointment in Natural Sciences. Her research bridges immunology, microbiology, and translational applications in biomedicine and nutrition.

Her interdisciplinary research focuses on:

• Immunology & Inflammation: Mechanisms of cytokine regulation, gout pathogenesis, and inflammation resolution
• Antimicrobial & Cancer Research: Therapeutic properties of natural compounds (e.g., apple cider vinegar, Graviola) against pathogens and cancer cells
• Nutritional Science: Bioactive interventions for metabolic and immune modulation (e.g., tart cherry juice, CoQ10)
• Analytical Biochemistry: Advanced techniques for glycosaminoglycan quantification and biomarker discovery

Publication analysis reveals three dominant themes:

• Natural product therapeutics against infectious diseases and cancer
• Inflammation resolution pathways in crystal-induced arthropathies
• Innovative analytical methods for biological molecule characterization

No scientific awards or dedicated laboratory spaces are documented. As a Senior Lecturer, she likely contributes to postgraduate supervision, though specific student advisees are not named.
