Prof. Palash Mandal | Biochemistry | Best Researcher Award

Professor | Charusat | India

Prof. Palash Mandal is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the P. D. Patel Institute of Applied Sciences, CHARUSAT University. His research primarily focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying liver diseases, with particular emphasis on alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disorders. He investigates oxidative stress, inflammation, gut microbiota modulation, and toll-like receptor signaling to identify potential therapeutic targets for hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. His work also explores the role of cytokines, innate immunity, and apoptosis in liver pathology, as well as the development of biomarkers and proteomic profiling for liver diseases. In addition, his research extends to studying metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, especially their interplay with liver dysfunction. Prof. Mandal has published extensively in high-impact journals, contributing to advancements in hepatology, molecular biosciences, and inflammation biology. He has been actively involved in several funded research projects supported by national science agencies and has supervised numerous PhD and postgraduate students. Beyond research, he holds significant editorial responsibilities as Associate or Academic Editor for several international journals, including Frontiers in Gastroenterology, PLOS ONE, Mediators of Inflammation, and Discovery Applied Sciences. His professional affiliations span leading scientific societies such as the Society for Leukocyte Biology, the International Society for Hepatic Sinusoidal Research, and the Indian National Association for the Study of the Liver. Prof. Mandal’s scientific contributions bridge fundamental biology and clinical relevance, aiming to develop innovative therapeutic strategies for liver-related and metabolic diseases.
