Prof. Dr. Tanuja Nesari, MD (Ayu), PhD, is Director of the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), Jamnagar, one of the world’s leading academic and clinical institutions for Ayurvedic Medicine. Internationally, she is recognised as one of the leading voices for evidence-based Ayurveda, integrative medicine, and the strategic development of Traditional Medicine within modern healthcare systems.
Before joining ITRA, Prof. Nesari served as Director of the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi, where she significantly expanded international collaborations, interdisciplinary clinical research, and integrative healthcare initiatives. Her work strongly focuses on connecting classical Ayurveda with modern biomedical science, public health, preventive medicine, and translational research.
Prof. Nesari is particularly respected for building international academic and scientific networks linking Ayurveda universities, WHO-related initiatives, research institutions, and global health organisations. She actively contributes to international dialogue on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM), including collaborations related to the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Centre in Jamnagar and the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034.
Her scientific work includes research and publications in the fields of Rasayana, neurocognition, medicinal plants, chronic diseases, resilience, preventive medicine, and integrative healthcare. As editor and author, she contributed to international scientific publications and landmark works on evidence-based traditional medicine and global health. Together with Kerstin Rosenberg, Prof. Nesari also published the successful German Ayurveda book “Ayurveda heilt”, which has become one of the best-known German-language works on Ayurvedic nutrition therapy and integrative health promotion.
Her current research initiatives at ITRA also include innovative projects in geriatric medicine, longevity research, and integrative veterinary Ayurveda.
At the Ayurveda Symposium 2026, Prof. Nesari will speak on “Rasayana and Longevity in Ayurveda – Prevention, Regeneration and Mental Stability” as well as “Cholesterol, Metabolism and Ghee – Ayurvedic Perspectives on Lipid Regulation”, contributing her profound expertise in Rasayana therapy, metabolism, prevention, and integrative health sciences.
In the face of the long tradition of Ayurveda appear 30 years as a short section. But has the Ayurveda in this time made a big step towards Europe, not least due to the symposium and the pioneering spirit of Kerstin and Mark Rosenberg, who founded the European Academy of Ayurveda in 1993.
The project "Ayurveda in Germany" has started with much vigor and important milestones have been reached, thanks to the tireless energy of all the participants. In this session, dear companions, supporters and friends of the Academy chat about anecdotes from 30 years and dare to look ahead to the next 3 decades.
