Kartik Gupta

I obtained my Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin-- Madison where I investigated the role of cell death in cancer and cardiovascular biology. I investigated the role of post-translational modifications on key cell death proteins in the regulation of cell-death and identified a novel pathway of exosome secretion in the context of cell death. I have been a part of Dr. Esha Madan and Dr. Rajan Gogna's group for 10+ years and have contributed to several discoveries in their team related to cell competition and oxygen-signaling. After my Ph.D., I was a post-doc at Merck and Co., and am currently a scientist in immuno-oncology at a Bay Area startup.
