Dr. Pabitra Pal is a biomedical researcher specializing in cellular and molecular biology. His early work in Dr. Srivastava's laboratory at Galveston, Texas, revealed the significant role of aldose reductase in innate immune responses associated with Type 1 diabetes. Continuing his research journey at the University of Pittsburgh in the Raeman Lab, he investigated the influence of immune cells on liver regeneration following acetaminophen-induced hepatic injury.
Currently, Dr. Pal's research centers on the role of innate pattern recognition receptors in T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, aiming to enhance durable antibody responses. He has also developed protocols for isolating perfused mouse brains to study the functions of various helper cell subsets within this complex tissue.
Outside of his research endeavors, Dr. Pal is an avid photographer, enjoys cooking, and has a keen interest in music, adding a creative dimension to his professional life. The gallery below offers a glimpse into this talents.
