Debarati Ghose

Debarati Ghose is an Instructional Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, where she has been affiliated since 2021. Her academic background includes a B.S. from the University of Calcutta (2009), a Ph.D. from Northern Illinois University (2018), and postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota and Texas A&M University. Her teaching portfolio includes BIOL 111 Introductory Biology I and BIOL 402 Communicating Biological Research to the Public, emphasizing both foundational biology and science communication. Her research focuses on antibacterial agents, biomedical materials, and microbial interactions, with particular emphasis on natural product-based solutions and dental biomaterials. Recent work explores traditional medicine’s role in addressing antibiotic resistance and developing novel polymers resistant to bacterial degradation.

• Education:
• B.S., University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India (2009)
• Ph.D., Northern Illinois University (2018)
• Postdoctoral Experience:
• University of Minnesota (Undisclosed period)
• Texas A&M University (Undisclosed period)

Her research interests span antimicrobial drug discovery, biomaterials engineering, and molecular mechanisms of microbial resistance. Ongoing projects include investigations into polyphosphate accumulation in oral microbiota and the role of specific enzymes in Coenzyme Q biosynthesis. She prioritizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining organic chemistry, microbiology, and materials science to address biomedical challenges.

Publications highlight contributions to antibacterial agent design, dental polymer stability, and enzyme-inhibition strategies. Manuscripts in preparation explore oral microbiota’s phosphate dynamics and Coenzyme Q synthesis pathways, reflecting her commitment to advancing both fundamental and applied research.
