Gupta Lab
We are a research group at the Department of Chemical Physiology and Biochemistry, School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, OR. We are a biochemistry, and cellular structural biology laboratory. Our research broadly focuses on delineating the role of membrane proteins in human health and disease. One of the major projects in the lab is about assessing the involvement of peroxisomes in metabolic, genetic, and age-related diseases. The program encompasses biochemistry, biophysics, and assay development for molecular characterization of macromolecules of interest. The lab utilizes the power of imaging at various scales including optical microscopy, cryo-EM, and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to correlate molecular events and their cellular and physiological context. Our research program is still evolving and we are looking to hire talented individuals.
We strongly believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility make science and research a better place. We welcome all without discrimination.
