Swati Gupta, PhD
About Me
Swati Gupta is a Neuroscience postdoctoral fellow in the laboratories of Dr. Deanna Benson and Dr. George Huntley . Her research is focused on understanding how a Parkinson’s Disease risk mutation (LRRK2 G2019S) impacts glutamate receptor trafficking dynamics.
She obtained her PhD in Neuroscience from the lab of Dr. Farah D. Lubin, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her thesis work focused on understanding the role of histone methylation in the medial temporal lobe during long-term memory formation. She then went on to pursue her postdoctoral research in the lab of Dr. Josef T. Kittler, University College London, where she investigated the role of Nischarin in regulating glutamate transporter trafficking at the synapse.
During her postdoc at Mount Sinai, Dr. Gupta has been recipient of the NIH WIST fellowship and a Rainwater Tau Leadership fellow. In addition to her research, Dr. Gupta has been involved in teaching graduate and medical school courses and is a member of the Neuroscience Postdoctoral Association.
