Somshuvra Mukhopadhyay is a Professor in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on Pharmacology and Toxicology. His research primarily concentrates on understanding the mechanisms that develop treatments for incurable human diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions such as parkinsonism. He investigates gene-environment interactions and how genetic mutations combined with environmental factors can lead to diseases like parkinsonism. His research aims to develop small molecules that can effectively modulate brain metal levels to treat these conditions. Additionally, he studies Shiga toxin-induced diseases caused by E. coli bacteria, working to determine the mechanisms of toxin invasion and designing small molecule inhibitors for therapeutic interventions. With significant NIH funding, his work has been recognized through various awards, including the Bruce Fowler Young Investigator Award from the Society of Toxicology.
