Biography:
Dr. Sujith Rajan is Assistant Professor at NYU Long Island School of Medicine, specializing in adipocyte biology and lipid metabolism. He earned his Ph.D. from CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, India, and has received numerous accolades, including the American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Charles Trey, MD Memorial Liver Scholar Award. Dr. Rajan's pioneering work on microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in adipocytes has led to significant publications and a patent. His research aims to understand the role of adipose tissue in metabolic diseases, with a long-term goal to find better therapeutic intervention for obesity and related metabolic diseases.
Title : Adipose MTP deficiency protects against hepatic steatosis by upregulating PPAR activity
Title : Positive adipose liver crosstalk protects adipose MTP knockout Mice from hepatic steatosis on an obesogenic diet.
Title : Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein regulates intracellular lipolysis in adipocytes independent of its lipid transfer activity
