DR.JITENDRA KUMAR BARUPAL

Ph.D.

MKB-YRFP FELLOW

  • Visiting Fellow Harvard School of Public Health.

Dr. Jitendra is an early stage investigator working in environment health under the supervision of Professor Shinjini Bhatnagar.  He is working on identification of epigenetic marks of mixed and specific environmental exposure (e.g. Particulate Matter 2.5) and their association with birth and developmental health outcomes. He got training in environment epidemiology, bioinformatics and statistics  at Harvard School of Public Health and at School of Publlic Health, UC Berekely. 

Dr. Jiendra  is working on statistical and computational methods to integrate multi-omics data (medical imaging, proteomics, genomics and metabolomics) for various cohort studies including GARBH-Ini Cohort.
