Research Activities
Learn more about the research going on in our divisions below:
Metabolic Phenotyping Core Facility
The Metabolic Phenotyping Core Facility provides investigators with services to comprehensively assess metabolism in rodents. This is particularly relevant if one is interested in understanding the role of genes or drugs in controlling metabolism, and given the huge cost of the obesity and diabetes epidemic this has potential relevance to many investigators at Rutgers that do not work on metabolism, but may have stumbled upon a metabolic phenotype that may potentially have relevance for obesity and diabetes.
Clinical Academic Building Research Group
We are a multi-PI research group in the Department of Medicine and Pediatrics. Our research group uses a combination of molecular biology, in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches to address key mechanisms in metabolism and endocrinology.

Dr. Moshmi Bhattacharya is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and holds appointments in the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the Child Health Institute of New Jersey. Prior to joining Rutgers University, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. She did her Ph.D in the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, at McGill University, Montreal, Canada followed by postdoctoral studies at the Robarts Research Institute in Ontario. Dr. Bhattacharya has mentored many trainees; her trainees acquire multidisciplinary training and attain specialized skills in pre-clinical animal models, advanced molecular imaging, molecular techniques and translational research.
The Bhattacharya lab is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate metabolic disorders such as cancer (breast and liver cancer) and obesity induced fatty liver disease. These multidisciplinary studies are conducted using cell and 3-D culture models, genetically engineered mouse models as well as clinical biopsies and blood samples.

The Babwah Laboratory studies the regulation of female fertility through a better understanding of pubertal development and early pregnancy events.
It is estimated that in the US alone, 10% or over 6 million women of reproductive age suffer from infertility. Infertility is caused by many defects that may arise before or after the onset of puberty. To better understand the regulation of fertility, the Babwah laboratory has focused its attention on the uterus. Here they study the roles of several estradiol- and/or progesterone-regulated factors in regulating the preimplantation and early post-implantation periods of pregnancy in both mice and women. Their studies specifically test how these factors regulate the acquisition of uterine receptivity, embryo implantation, decidualization, decidual function and early placentation. Among their findings, they have identified critical roles for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in regulating progesterone receptor signaling and demonstrated that a lack of GPCR signaling blocks the acquisition of uterine receptivity. Their work has also focused on understanding the negative impact of gonadotropin-dependent ovarian stimulation, an important aspect of in vitro fertilization, on embryo implantation.
