Subrata Biswas

Subrata Biswas currently holds the position of **Adjunct Professor of Biology** at the University of Maryland Global Campus (2024–Present) and previously served as **Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Physiology** at Wor-Wic Community College (Salisbury, MD, 2021–2023). His professional experience includes roles as Research Faculty (2008–2015) and Senior Research Fellow (2005–2008) in the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins University, and a Visiting Fellow (2000–2005) and Scientist on Contract (2015–2016) at the National Institute of Health (NICHD).

**Education**: He earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, an M.Phil. in Environmental Sciences from Jawaharlal Nehru University, and dual MS and BS degrees in Human Physiology from the University of Calcutta.

**Research Interests**: Focus on viral fusion mechanisms, ion channelopathies, and the role of calcium and calmodulin in sodium channel regulation. His work spans cardiac electrophysiology, skeletal muscle physiology, and biophysical studies of membrane dynamics.

**Key Research Talks**: Delivered presentations on calcium’s direct regulation of NaV1.4/1.5 channels, particularly via EFL motifs in their C-termini, and explored regulatory mechanisms linked to cardiac sodium channel dysfunction and long QT syndrome at major conferences like the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting and American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.

**Advising & Grants**: No explicit student advisement or grant details provided. His roles emphasize teaching (Anatomy/Physiology courses) and collaborative research across institutions.

**Research Affiliations**: Conducted studies in the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins University and at NICHD, NIH, though specific lab names are not mentioned in the text.
