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.
