Bidhan C. Bandyopadhyay

Biography

He did his B.Sc. (Honors) in 1988 and M.Sc. in 1990 both on Physiology with 1st Class from University of Calcutta, India. He received his PhD in Biochemistry from University of Calcutta, India with six 1st author and three 2nd author publications in peer-reviewed international journals. He did his postdoctoral training in Pharmacology at Georgetown University and later in Molecular Biology at University of Maryland. During his time at Maryland he successfully cloned a new TRP channel from Limulus (invertebrate) ventral photoreceptors. He continued to work on TRP channel physiology at NIDCR and characterized several multimeric TRP channels and made a number of important contributions to the areas of membrane biology, cell and tissue research. He has been working on calcium signaling for last 8 years and have excellent track record of publication (27) in top notch journals. His areas of interests are membrane transport in salivary duct and kidney proximal tubule, Calcium stone disease and Biomineralization. He is currently working as a Principle Investigator of Calcium Signaling Laboratory at Washington Veterans Affair Medical Center and as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, George Washington University School Of Medicine, Washington DC.
