He joined Central Drug Research Institute in India for his PhD and worked on adipocyte biology. He is currently working as an research associate at NYU Long Island School of Medicine in deciphering the role of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein in adipocyte biology. He is been working in adipocyte biology for more than a decade and has published 30 articles in different peer-reviewed journals. His one of the prominent works highlighted deleterious effect of chronic hyperinsulinemia on brown adipocyte function and insulin sensitivity.
