Biography
Arjun Sengupta is a Chemist who has received his PhD training in the fields of Metabolomics of Infectious Diseases and NMR Spectroscopy. Currently, he is working in the Laboratory of Aalim M Weljie in University of Pennsylvania. His research interest involves deciphering the link between metabolism, sleep and circadian rhythm and how such links can be exploited for translational and clinical purpose. He uses high resolution NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to profile tissues and biofluids from sleep restricted animals and human recruits to explore the connection between sleep, metabolism and other phenotypes related to disease and aging. His research in the field of Metabolomics of insomnia and sleep restriction unraveled crucial changes in metabolic pathways that may explain some of the clinical manifestation of sleep curtailment.
