Anupam Patgiri

Assistant Professor

Anupam received his bachelor’s degree from Gauhati University (India) and a master’s degree in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (India). He then moved to New York City to pursue a Ph.D. in chemical biology in Prof. Bobby Arora’s lab at NYU. In the Arora lab, Anupam developed chemical inhibitors of therapeutically relevant protein-protein interactions. His thesis project resulted in the discovery of the first direct inhibitor of oncoprotein Ras. Anupam then spent a short stint as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Tarun Kapoor’s lab at the Rockefeller University before moving to Prof. Vamsi Mootha’s lab at Harvard Medical School. In the Mootha lab, Anupam engineered an enzyme called “LOXCAT” as a potential therapy for mitochondrial disease. In his independent lab at Emory University, Anupam is developing strategies to restore mitochondrial and metabolic homeostasis in disease as potential therapies.
