Dinesh Barupal

Dinesh Barupal, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, leading the Integrated Data Science Laboratory for Metabolomics and Exposomics (IDSL.ME) since 2020. His research focuses on exposome-induced metabolic dysregulations linked to chronic diseases, combining computational biology with exposure science.

• Doctoral and Post-Doctoral training at University of California, Davis
• Former Senior Scientist at International Agency for Research on Cancer (2012-2015)
• Previous role at West Coast Metabolomics Center, UC Davis (2016-2020)

His work specializes in metabolic epidemiology, computational metabolomics, and biomedical text mining. He has developed bioinformatics tools like ChemRICH, MetaMapp, and the Blood Exposome Database, available via the lab's GitHub page.

Key research themes across his 80+ publications include environmental health, metabolic dysregulation, and data science applications in exposomics. His 2025 article in Environmental Science and Technology explores maternal metabolic responses to air pollution, while his 2024 JNCI Cancer Spectrum work advocates for a cancer exposome atlas.

Dr. Barupal serves as Principal Investigator for the NIH-funded Exposome Correlation and Interpretation Database (ECID) (U24ES035386) and has published multiple R packages (IDSL.IPA, IDSL.UFA, IDSL.CSA) for metabolomics data analysis.

He currently works at 17 E 102 St, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10029, with industry relationships including consulting for Linus Biotechnology Inc.
