Sukanta Jash is an Assistant Professor in the fields of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry at Brown University. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School where he focused on the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle stem cell aging and human brown adipocyte formation. His research interests delve into the correlation between maternal pregnancy complications and the onset of autism spectrum disorders in offspring. Holding an M.D. in Medical Physiology with a specialization in Clinical Endocrinology and a Ph.D. in Genetic Engineering and Biochemistry from the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Jash's contributions to his field have been recognized with several prestigious awards including the INSA Young Scientists Medal and fellowships from the American Heart Association and the National Academy of Sciences, India. Currently, Jash's research lab is pioneering work on stem cell biology, focusing specifically on cellular reprogramming and placental development, with the aim to improve reproductive health and address critical challenges in maternal-fetal health. His innovative approaches involve mRNA-mediated cellular rejuvenation, CRISPR-mediated genome engineering, and examining the role of the 'Dark Genome' in embryonic adaptability.
