معرفی
Anoop Tholamplackil Ambikan serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Laboratory Medicine, conducting cutting-edge research within The Systems Virology Lab under Dr. Ujjwal Neogi's supervision. His work bridges computational biology and infectious disease pathogenesis, with emphasis on host-viral interaction mechanisms.
His academic foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Medical Science from Karolinska Institutet (2018-2023), specializing in systems biology for infectious disease research
- MSc in Bioinformatics from Amrita School of Biotechnology, India (2010-2012)
Dr. Ambikan's research centers on systems biology methodologies, particularly network analysis and multi-omics integration, to decode host-pathogen dynamics. He develops molecular association networks to identify coordinated response communities and specializes in contextualizing metabolic/signaling networks within specific cellular environments. His technical expertise spans TMT-labelled proteomics, quantitative metabolomics, and metagenomics, applied primarily to HIV, SARS-CoV-2, and emerging viral infections.
Analysis of his publication record reveals consistent focus on immunometabolic host responses across viral pathogens, with recurring themes of metabolic reprogramming in disease pathogenesis and network-based biomarker discovery. His work frequently employs hamster models for SARS-CoV-2 and leverages multi-omics to dissect elite HIV control mechanisms.
As an integral member of The Systems Virology Lab, he contributes to Karolinska Institutet's leadership in viral pathogenesis research, maintaining active collaborations across immunology, virology, and systems medicine disciplines.
