Attending Neonatologist

Dr. Sengupta is a neonatologist and physician scientist with a long-standing interest in lung health. She studies the mechanisms of circadian regulation of lung inflammation, injury, and repair; and the effect of early life exposures on development and function of pulmonary circadian networks in adulthood.

Bio

Dr. Sengupta's research interests focus on two main areas:

Determining the mechanisms of the circadian regulation of lung inflammation, injury and repair/regeneration: In particular, Dr. Sengupta's Lab is exploring the role of NK cells in mediating extensive immune-pathology when the clock is disrupted. Another project in the lab pertains to the effect of clock disruption of lung repair.

Effect of early life exposures on the development (or maldevelopment) and function of pulmonary circadian networks in adulthood: Using a neonatal hyperoxia model, Dr. Sengupta's Lab is exploring the deficits seen at various levels that persist into adulthood. Circadian rhythms can thus prove to be a novel therapeutic avenue for these long-standing effects of early life exposures.
