Biography

Paramita M. Ghosh is a Professor at the University of California, Davis in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. Her research focuses on signal transduction pathways related to prostate cancer. Over the past twenty years, she has investigated how alterations in these pathways lead to cancer progression, particularly in poorly differentiated prostate cancers. Ghosh's current work examines the Akt signaling pathway and its role in the transition to a castration-resistant state in prostate cancer. She also studies receptor tyrosine kinases and androgen receptor pathways to understand their effects on cancer progression and aging. Ghosh employs human tissue and animal models to explore the biology of both prostate and bladder cancers, using innovative techniques such as metabolomics and transcriptomics to validate her findings. In addition to her research, she plays a vital role in educating the next generation of scientists and has received multiple accolades for her contributions to cancer research and mentorship.
