Doctor of Science - Sheffield University Doctor of Philosophy - Sheffield University Bachelor of Science (Hons) - Sheffield University Research expertise and interests Currently Kuldip is studying the effects of the exposure to drugs such as alcohol and cocaine during early life on the development of the brain and behaviour. He is co-currently studying the effects of malnutrition during early life on the brain and behaviour. Kuldip is also researching the effects of diet restriction on longevity and the ageing processes; and carrying out research on axonal repair and regeneration in the injured central nervous system. Kuldip has published 97 original research papers.
