Bhattacharya Research Lab

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.
