معرفی
Pradip Saha, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, actively contributing to biomedical research for over two decades. Currently serving as Co-Director of the Mouse Metabolism & Phenotyping Core, he specializes in in vivo metabolic characterization of mouse models for diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancer, and neurological disorders.
- Advanced Training: Baylor College of Medicine (2001), National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (1998)
- Degree: Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Calcutta University (1996)
Dr. Saha’s research focuses on metabolic disorders, diabetes, obesity, and their intersections with cancer. He developed the Mouse Metabolism Core (MMC) in 2008, providing state-of-the-art metabolic phenotyping services to institutions like MDACC, TMHRI, UTHSC, and MIT. His work emphasizes specialized assays for metabolic parameters and expert interpretation.
Key research trends from his publications include:
- Metabolic regulation in diabetes and obesity
- Role of nuclear receptors in metabolic diseases
- Therapeutic targeting of adipose tissue
- Epigenetic mechanisms in adipogenesis
- Genetic protection against metabolic syndrome
The Mouse Metabolism Core collaborates with the Metabolomics Core to dissect metabolic pathways in cancer and diabetes research. His expertise spans biochemistry, metabolic phenotyping, and translational medicine.
