Gagan D. Gupta

Dr. Gagan D. Gupta serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biology at Toronto Metropolitan University, where he conducts research at the intersection of cellular signaling, genomics, and genetic disease mechanisms.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD from York University (2002)

Dr. Gupta's research program centers on three interconnected domains: Cell Signalling and Disease pathways, Functional Genomics methodologies, and Interaction Networks in Genetic Diseases. His laboratory employs integrated molecular, cellular, and computational approaches to decipher disease mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets, with particular emphasis on how signaling networks malfunction in pathological conditions.

He teaches across multiple levels including Biochemistry (BCH 261), Current Topics in Biology (BLG 678), Systems Biology (BMS 750), Medical Epidemiology (BMS 770), Stem Cell Biology (BMS 860), and Molecular Machines of the Cell (MS 8112), demonstrating expertise in both foundational and advanced biological concepts.

Dr. Gupta directs the Gupta Lab, which provides research training opportunities for graduate students. While specific grant details aren't publicly enumerated, his active laboratory and publication record indicate ongoing research funding supporting his investigative work.

The Gupta Lab (accessible at https://guptalabmars.wixsite.com/torontomu) serves as the primary research hub for his team's investigations into cellular communication systems and genetic disease networks, utilizing contemporary genomic and molecular techniques.
