Dr. Parashurama Natesh is a Volunteer Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo, with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He holds a dual MD-PhD and leads a 13-member lab focusing on merging regenerative medicine and molecular imaging to address hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. His work spans liver stem cell engineering, organogenesis modeling, and non-invasive imaging technologies. Education: PhD, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Rutgers University (2008) MD, University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine (1999) BS, Chemical Engineering, MIT (1994) Research Interests: His lab engineers liver and pancreatic organoids from stem cells, investigates endoderm differentiation pathways, and develops molecular imaging tools (e.g., PET/MRI) to monitor stem cell therapies. Key areas include: - 3D liver tissue engineering using hydrogels - FOXA1/2 gene regulation in hepatocyte maturation - TGFβ pathway control of collective cell migration - Clinical translation of imaging-guided regenerative medicine Article Trends: Publications emphasize liver and pancreatic organogenesis, stem cell differentiation dynamics, and multi-modal imaging strategies. Recent work highlights FOXA transcription factor roles, TGFβ signaling in morphogenesis, and in vitro models of liver diverticulum formation. Awards: NIH Training Grants (Biotechnology, Surgery, Radiology) CIRM Postdoctoral Fellowship Lab & Grants: Current projects include CTRC-affiliated translational research and collaborations with UCSF on human stem cell development. Lab includes 3 PhD, 3 Masters, and 7 undergraduate researchers. Labs/Teams: His lab integrates engineering principles with molecular biology, collaborating on projects like synthetic liver organoids and imaging probes for stem cell tracking.
