Soumya Maity

Soumya Maity is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Nephrology, focusing on kidney disease mechanisms, mitochondrial biology, and metabolic pathways. Their research integrates metabolomics, spatial imaging, and cellular signaling studies to understand chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome interactions.

Research interests include identifying novel biomarkers (e.g., adenine, quinolinic acid) linking systemic metabolic dysfunction to organ-specific injuries, studying mitochondrial transporters (e.g., SLC25A48, MCU), and exploring therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic enzymes (e.g., MTAP inhibition). Their work employs MALDI-MSI imaging, single-cell spatial metabolomics, and animal models to investigate pathophysiological processes.

Key findings include female-specific AMPK-mediated kidney protection in diabetes and the role of endogenous adenine in cardiovascular-kidney syndrome pathogenesis. Recent studies emphasize mitochondrial dysfunction’s role in metabolic disorders and drug development for acute kidney injury.
