Partho Ghosh is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. He is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and host responses to infectious microbes. His research focuses on the structural and biochemical characterization of virulence factors produced by pathogenic microbes, elucidating how these factors interact with host cells to modulate host cell behavior during infection. Ghosh employs advanced techniques, including atomic resolution X-ray crystallography, to gain insights into these complex interactions. Additionally, he is passionate about mentoring students, offering guidance to undergraduates at UCSD and participating in outreach programs aimed at high school students interested in research. With a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Francisco, and postdoctoral experience at Harvard University, Ghosh has a strong academic background that informs his research and mentoring.
