معرفی
Satyanarayana Ande is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University. He is a member of the Molecular Oncology and Biomarkers Program at the Georgia Cancer Center. His research focuses on liver cancer, cancer metabolism, and obesity-associated liver diseases. Dr. Ande earned his Ph.D. in Natural Sciences from Universität Hannover (2004), and holds an MS (Biotechnology, 1998) and BS (Biotechnology, 1996) from Nagarjuna University.
Research Interests: His laboratory investigates novel cytokines and transcription factors in liver and adipose tissues, particularly their roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metabolic adaptation of cancer cells, and obesity-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Techniques include RNAseq, Mass-Spec, and mouse models to study metabolic pathways and tumor suppression mechanisms. Recent work highlights NADP(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1's role in HCC metabolic pathways and ZAG's promotion of adipose tissue browning.
Service Contributions: Served on Augusta University's Faculty Rules and Responsibilities committee (2019–present), and contributed to the GCC-RIP Seminar Series (2019–2020). Courses taught include MEDI 6220 (Cardiopulmonary/Heme) and BIOM 8215 (Fundamentals of Oncology I).
Laboratory: The Ande Lab is located at the Georgia Cancer Center's M. Bert Storey Research Building. Contact: sande@augusta.edu
