Master the medicine of the cellular membrane.

A nonprofit academy training clinicians, advancing research, and translating lipid and plasmalogen science into everyday clinical care — to address the ever-increasing burden of cellular toxicity.

Our mission

DNAcademy — a program of Doniparthi Neurogen Academy — is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a connected community of practitioners who treat chronic illness at its cellular root — working where education, research, and clinical care meet, because lasting health begins with the health of the cell.

The framework

One mission, three reinforcing pillars.

Everything the academy does lives in one of three places — and each one strengthens the others.

Pillar 1 · Teach

Education

We train healthcare providers in lipid replacement therapy and cellular medicine through courses, workshops, and intensives — including our Lipid Replacement Therapy curriculum and sessions at the MAPS conference.

Pillar 2 · Discover

Research

We study how fatty acids, phospholipids, and plasmalogens drive cellular repair and membrane integrity — including combined Lipid Replacement Therapy (LRT) and Plasmalogen Replacement Therapy (PRT).

Pillar 3 · Apply

Clinical

We translate the science into individualized, testing-driven protocols for complex conditions — long COVID, neurodegenerative disease, mold and fungal illness, autism, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

How it connects

A single system, built to compound.

Research at the academy informs what happens in the clinic. The clinic sharpens what we teach. And education carries proven, root-cause tools to practitioners across the country — who bring them back to their own patients.

It's the same idea at every scale: give the cell what it needs, and the body can do what it was built to do.

Founder & Chairperson of the Board

Krishna Doniparthi, MD

Dr. Doniparthi founded Functional Medicine Georgia in 2011 and chairs the Doniparthi Neurogen Academy, where his work centers on cellular medicine — the fatty acids, phospholipids, and plasmalogens that determine how well cells function, repair, and detoxify. He trains clinicians nationwide and lectures on cellular medicine across the country and abroad, an area most conventional and functional practitioners overlook.
