Arijit Ghosh

Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow @NHLBI, NIH

About me

Currently I am visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Systems Genetics, SBC, NHLBI at Bethesda, Maryland. I am interested in studying the genetic network of the interaction between circadian clock and the sleep homeostat and how these interactions shape various sleep phenotypes. In my PhD, I worked on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying complex behaviors, such as timing of a behavior at the Chronobiology and Behavioural Neurogenetics Laboratory, JNCASR. My studies use diverse methodologies - from behavioral screening to next-generation sequencing. Previously, I have also worked on thermo-sensitive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels and their role in osteogenesis, using rodent models, primary bone cells, pharmacological modulators, and molecular dynamics during my masters studies at NISER.

Apart from my work in the lab, I am a serial chiller, leisure photographer, connoisseur of sci-fi (old and new) and good food (I am rated a super foodie by Zomato)! For a full list of my publications, check out my Google Scholar profile, for my publicly available codes, check out my Github page.
