Senior Associate Dean and Professor
School of Medicine and Public Health | Department of Biomolecular Chemistry
The ultimate goal of the Audhya lab is to identify the regulatory pathways that control membrane deformation, which enable vesicle formation in the endosomal and secretory systems. Although basic research is the cornerstone of his program, Dr. Audhya also seeks to define pathomechanisms that underlie human disease, focusing on the impact of mutations in key trafficking components that lead to cancer, neurodegeneration, asthma, and diabetes. Dr. Audhya was promoted to the rank of Professor with tenure in 2019. On December 1, 2021, he was appointed Senior Associate Dean for Basic Research, Biotechnology, and Graduate Studies in the School of Medicine and Public Health. He is also the Director of the Center for Training in Pharmacology and Drug Development and co-leads a NIH-funded T32 graduate training program in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology.
