- Education: M.Pharm (Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University, India), Ph.D. (Niigata University, Japan)
- Research Focus: Epigenetic mechanisms in cardiac diseases, non-coding RNA regulation, exosome therapy, stem cell biology, and gene-environment interactions
His work explores how long non-coding RNAs and epigenetic modifiers influence cardiac repair, particularly through induced mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomal signaling. Current projects investigate dietary and environmental impacts on epigenetic changes in the heart. Recent publications highlight advancements in RNA-based therapies and metabolic interventions for cardioprotection.
- Scientific Awards: American Heart Association Career Development Award, Young Research Scientist Award, Travel Awards
Dr. Gurusamy serves as Grant Reviewer for the American Heart Association, Associate Editor for Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, and Vice-Chair for the Communication Committee of the Society for South Asian Heart Research (SAHR). His lab employs in-vitro, in-vivo, and clinical trial approaches, utilizing PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry, and genomic repository analyses.
