Abhishek Jain

Abhishek Jain is an Associate Research Scientist in the Environmental Health Sciences department at Yale School of Public Health. His work focuses on the intersection of environmental health, metabolomics, and cancer research, with particular expertise in colorectal cancer metabolism and gut microbiome interactions. He collaborates extensively with Dr. Caroline Johnson's lab and other researchers at Yale.

Dr. Jain received his PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Nanyang Technological University Singapore (2018), followed by an ME in Environmental Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (2014), and a BEngSci in Biotechnology Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (2010).

His research centers on environmental health impacts through the lens of metabolomics, with specific focus on cancer metabolism, particularly colorectal cancer. He investigates how environmental factors influence metabolic pathways, with emphasis on tumor location differences, sex-specific responses, and interactions between host metabolism and gut microbiome. His work bridges analytical chemistry techniques with public health applications, developing novel methods for metabolite analysis and biomarker discovery.

Analysis of Dr. Jain's publication record reveals a strong focus on colorectal cancer metabolism, with particular attention to tumor location differences (right vs. left colon), sex-specific metabolic variations, and the role of environmental exposures. His research increasingly incorporates multi-omics approaches and has significant implications for cancer subtyping and personalized treatment approaches.

Dr. Jain has received several prestigious awards recognizing his contributions to metabolomics research:

• MANA 2024 Conference Travel Award
• 3 Minutes Thesis Finalist (2024)
• ECR Best Poster Award in MANA 2022
• MANA 2022 conference travel award
• Metabolomics Society Early Career Travel Awards (2022)

Dr. Jain is actively involved in collaborative research within the Caroline Johnson Lab at Yale, focusing on environmental health sciences. His work bridges laboratory research with potential clinical applications, particularly in cancer metabolism and environmental exposures. He serves as a reviewer for scientific journals including those from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Based at the Caroline Johnson Lab located at 60 College Street, room 508, at the Yale School of Public Health, Dr. Jain contributes to cutting-edge research in metabolomics and environmental health, working within Yale's robust ecosystem for public health research.
