Mita Varghese Ph.D

Mita earned her Ph.D. in Biology from Bowling Green State University, Ohio in 2012. Her research interests are in understanding the cellular and biochemical bases of obesity and obesity related disorders.

Her past postdoctoral experience has been in Dr. James Granneman lab with a focus on cardiac lipid trafficking in cell culture and murine models.

During her post-doc in the Singer lab, she studied the link between adipose tissue inflammation and obesity.

Dr. Varghese re-joined our team to further our understanding of pediatric obesity induced monocyte changes and mechanisms driving meta-inflammation.
