Himanish Basu

Based at Harvard University, Himanish Basu focuses their scholarly efforts on mitochondrial function, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neurodegeneration, microglial activation, neuroinflammation, cellular dynamics, molecular pathology, neurobiology, bridging the gap between theory and practice in mitochondrial function. A representative example of their recent contribution is the study titled "Gasdermin-E mediates mitochondrial damage in axons and neurodegeneration", which offers critical insights into the dynamics of mitochondrial function and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Additional work such as "A chemogenetic screen reveals that Trpv1-expressing neurons control regulatory T cells in the gut" further demonstrates their commitment to advancing knowledge in this domain.
