Lipid Analysis in Biology, Health, and Disease

Sanjoy Bhattacharya is a tenured full Professor at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Miami, with secondary appointments in biochemistry, molecular biology, neuroscience, cellular and molecular pharmacology programs. He earned his doctorate in Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology. Dr. Bhattacharya’s laboratory, with its diverse expertise in engineering, computer programming, biology, and mass spectrometry, is dedicated to studying the complete set of molecules and biological systems involved in axon regeneration. He serves on the editorial board of several peer-reviewed journals including PLoS One as an academic editor, Experimental Eye Research as Special issues and Review editor, and Translational Metabolomics as the Editor in Chief. Professor Bhattacharya has held several leadership positions including Chair of the scientific advisory board of Malignancy Research Foundation and Chair of Miller School of Medicine Faculty Council. He is also the founding director of Miami Integrative Metabolomics Research Center.
