Dipayan Chaudhuri

Dipayan Chaudhuri is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Adjunct Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah. His research focuses on mitochondrial calcium signaling in cardiac pathophysiology, particularly heart failure and metabolic disorders.

Education:

• B.A. from Cornell University
• M.D. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Dr. Chaudhuri investigates how cardiac metabolism alters in heart failure, with a specific emphasis on calcium signaling through mitochondrial ion channels. His work combines voltage-clamp electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and mitochondrial biology to explore molecular pathways that could be targeted pharmacologically for therapeutic benefit.

Recent research trends in his publications highlight mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) mechanisms, FGF21 signaling in cardiohepatic interactions, metabolic adaptations in ischemia, and computational approaches to drug discovery. Techniques include mitoplast analysis, bioenergetics studies, and AI-driven high-throughput screening.
