Dr Niharika Duggal

Dr Niharika Duggal is an Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham’s Department of Inflammation and Ageing and a trustee for the British Society of Research in Ageing (BSRA) with a long-standing interest in the field of immunesenescence.

Her research group investigates the gut–immune–muscle axis, immunometabolism resilience, and the development of translational interventions to support healthy ageing. This work spans mechanistic discovery through to human trials, integrating multi‑omics, immune profiling, and nutritional science. Her broader vision is to develop scalable, equitable, and evidence‑based strategies that enhance immune and physiological function across diverse ageing populations, bridging fundamental biology with real‑world interventions.
