Rupak Pathak

Rupak Pathak, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Pharmacy. His research focuses on radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity and therapeutic interventions.

• BS in Zoology, University of Calcutta, India
• MS in Zoology, University of North Bengal, India
• PhD in Radiation Biology, University of Kalyani, India

His work utilizes wild-type and transgenic animal models to study radiation effects on the intestine and vascular endothelial system, including simulated microgravity environments for deep space research. Recent innovations include 3D whole-mount immunostaining techniques and platelet function analysis in radiation damage mitigation.

Publications highlight research in radiation biology, intestinal toxicity, and cytogenetics. Key collaborative works address radiation protection via platelet glycoproteins, intestinal recovery in non-human primates, and proteome profiling in radiation-induced injury.
