He published 65 peer-reviewed papers as the only or first author, and solved several important scientific/clinical puzzles, such as for example: the peculiar disposition of drugs in cystic fibrosis patients, the dangerous diuretic tienilic acid-coumarin derivatives interaction, the aquarium fish food proteins as the triggering agents in development of autoimmune hepatitis, the possible accumulation of cimetidine after multiple oral doses, the need for calculation of plasma elimination half-life of drugs only after reaching steady-state concentration, and an important role of viral infections in inhibition of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes leading to development of autoimmune hepatitis. Dr Prandota demonstrated that T. gondii may cause recurrent headaches (Am J Ther 2007,14,63). He is an Editor of more than 35 scientific journals including World J Clin Pediatrics (China), Int J Neurol Res (Hong Kong), Arch Clin Hypertension (India), Global J Gastroenterol Hepatol (UK), and The Open Neurol J (USA). Recently, Dr Prandota et al found the increased seroprevalence of T. gondii in autistic children [Int J Neurol Res 2015,1,102]; suggested that T. gondii may be responsible for development of atherosclerosis (J Cardiol Ther 2017,4,611) and several autoimmune diseases (IJNR 2018,4,379); and elucidated pathomechanisms of several unexplained liver abnormalities (J Gastroenterol Hepatol Res 2019,8,2824).

Dr Joseph Prandota research interest includes Latent chronic T. gondii infection and its participation in development of molecular pathomechanisms of headaches, several neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases, including autism, inflammatory bowel disease, Lesniowski-Crohn disease, cryptogenic liver disease, steatohepatitis, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and proteinuria.

Professor Bashir Lwaleed is Professor of Experimental Pathology, Director of Post Graduate Research, and PhD and DClinP Programmes Lead within the School of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath) since 2008 and have held a PhD in haematology since 1998. I am also a Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, a Chartered and Fellow of the Society of Biologist, a Member of the British Society for Haematology, the British Society of Haemostasis and Thrombosis. My academic origins lie in academic and clinical haematology, first in Libya, then in the UK, my career subsequently becoming entirely academic. This adds up to more than 27 years of experience in university healthcare environments. My research studentship and postdoctoral career has been within the research community of Southampton University Medical School. In 1999 I moved departments from Haematology to Urology at Southampton University Hospitals, research activity later extending to collaboration with Portsmouth University. In 2004 I joined Health Sciences, with a remit to raise the basic and translational research profile of the group as well as expanding its teaching programme. I am an experienced communicator with >155 publications and research presentations, across disciplinary boundaries, from haematology to cancer cell biology and urinary bladder pathologies. An extension of this interest in communication is the collaborative links forged with academic departments in Brazil, China and South Africa as well as Europe. My research interactions include links to industry with contributions to diagnostic kit development and three patent applications; two published, one filed pending publication. I have guest-edited issues of the journal Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis. I also act as the Editor-in-Charge for the journal of Advances in Haematology and have written editorials and contributed a haematological chapter for a neonatology book.
