معرفی
Paramita Pati is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University. She is also affiliated with the MCG-GS Savannah Partnership, contributing to medical education and research in pharmacological and physiological sciences.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Pharmacology, Augusta University, 2015
- B.A. in Chemistry, College of Charleston, 2007
- B.S. in Biochemistry, College of Charleston, 2007
Her research focuses on circadian biology and metabolic physiology, particularly how the timing of food intake influences cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic health. Her work integrates chronobiology with organ system function, using preclinical models to explore mechanisms linking circadian misalignment to diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and kidney fibrosis. She investigates how timed feeding can restore circadian rhythms and improve physiological outcomes.
The trend in her recent publications highlights a consistent focus on circadian regulation of metabolism and cardiovascular function, particularly the role of feeding schedules in modulating blood pressure, adipose tissue biology, thermogenesis, and vascular health. Her studies often employ mouse models to dissect molecular and systemic effects of circadian disruption.
