Biswarup is a research associate in the Meucci Lab. He earned a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Kalyani (India) and completed postdoctoral training at University of Minnesota and Temple University. He later transitioned to senior scientist roles at Thomas Jefferson University and University of Pennsylvania prior to joining the Meucci Lab in the fall of 2024.

Biswarup has a broad scientific background in the central and peripheral nervous systems. His work has used cutting edge techniques to study the mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, ALS, and ocular diseases. He has extensive experience using viral constructs for gene delivery across in vitro and in vivo model systems. In the Meucci Lab, Biswarup builds on his previous experience to examine how HIV and opioids contribute to neuronal dysfunction and amyloidogenesis, and he works with our human brain slice culture model of neuroHIV as part of the department’s TRaCES initiative.
