Shaon Sengupta, MBBS, MPH, is an attending neonatologist and physician scientist with a long-standing interest in lung health. His research focuses on the mechanisms of circadian regulation of lung inflammation, injury, and repair, as well as the effects of early life exposures on the development and function of pulmonary circadian networks in adulthood. The Sengupta Laboratory at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is dedicated to understanding the circadian regulatory networks that govern resilience and recovery in the lungs following injury. The lab aims to revolutionize lung health by harnessing the power of circadian rhythms, addressing significant variations in lung function throughout the day that impact gas exchange and immune responses. Research projects highlight the lab's findings on clock control of lung injury, with preliminary data indicating specific cellular mechanisms involved in lung repair. Sengupta's work emphasizes the potential clinical implications of circadian timing in pulmonary health.
