Kaushik Choudhuri

Kaushik Choudhuri is a researcher in the Department of Biochemistry at New York University Grossman School of Medicine, specializing in T cell immunology and molecular mechanisms of immune activation.

• Education: DPhil from University of Oxford, MBBS from King's College London.
• Postdoctoral Training: New York University Grossman School of Medicine, University of Oxford.

Dr. Choudhuri's research focuses on T cell receptor signaling, immunological synapse formation, and microvesicle dynamics in T cell function. His work explores how dimensional constraints of peptide-MHC complexes influence TCR activation thresholds and investigates the role of ESCRT proteins in synapse organization.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding cytokine trans-presentation, protein segregation at membrane interfaces, and ubiquitin-mediated synaptic architecture. These studies span immunology, cell biology, and structural biology.

His earlier work on hepatitis virus-induced autoimmunity and molecular mimicry remains foundational in autoimmune disease research.
