Dr. Kallol Gupta

Biography

Kallol Gupta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine. He is a trained chemist who has significantly contributed to the understanding of molecular diversity present in venoms from marine cone snails, with the goal of uncovering how these venoms impair the functions of key ion channels and transporters. Gupta's research has led to transformative advancements in mass spectrometric analysis of membrane protein-lipid complexes. He returned to Yale in 2018, where he established his own lab focusing on the quantitative analysis of macromolecular protein complexes in their native cellular environments. His work employs native mass spectrometry combined with chemical biology to explore the spatiotemporal organization of membrane proteins and lipids, crucial for regulating cellular physiology. Prior to his current role, he was a Fellow of the 1851 Royal Commission at the University of Oxford, where he obtained his PhD in Molecular Biophysics. Gupta is actively engaged in teaching and mentoring, contributing to education in Biochemical and Biophysical approaches in molecular cellular biology.
