Bio
Debarun Patra is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford Medicine, with a background in inflammation research. His research focuses on bridging cellular disease mechanisms with in vivo pathophysiology to identify novel therapeutic targets. His current work integrates advanced multi-omics tools, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, and animal models to investigate inflammatory and metabolic diseases (inflammatory bowel disease and MASH).
Debarun's doctoral research at IIT Ropar under Dr. Durba Pal was focused on exploring role of obese adipose tissue microenvironment in chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, particularly evaluating the interactions between adipocytes and macrophages. His findings revealed the critical roles of microRNA-210, cyclophilin-A, and Fetuin-A in adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance.
