Professor in Precision Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arijit Mukhopadhyay specialises in Human Genetics & Genomics with over 23 years of research experience. Currently, he is a Professor in Precision Health<\/strong> in the School of Science, Engineering and Environment at the University of Salford, Manchester, United Kingdom <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arijit has an h-index of 29 (>2850 citations), published 69 peer-reviewed well-cited publications in international journals and supervised 16 PhD students (12 completed, 4 ongoing). He has past and present collaborations with NHS and industry (UK and abroad) and have a consistent record of obtaining and managing research funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arijit\u2019s research is in the broad area of Healthy Ageing, which is a sustainable development goal (SDG-3) and the World Health Organization has marked the next 10 years as the \u2018decade of healthy ageing\u2019 (2020-2030). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his laboratory, Arijit has developed the capabilities to investigate non-coding RNAs in small extra cellular vesicles amenable to requirements of non-invasive molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. These vesicles can can cross the blood-brain barrier enabling detection in the accessible body fluids such as plasma, urine, saliva etc. He has recently joined the FASD group with a goal to discover novel non-invasive RNA biomarkers for prenatal alcohol exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
