Overview

Susmita Kaushik is a researcher affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the United States. Their work is primarily situated within the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Medicine, with a total of 25 and 19 publications respectively. Their research also intersects several subfields such as Epidemiology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Geriatrics and Gerontology, and Aging.

The main topics covered in Kaushik's research include:

  • Autophagy in Disease and Therapy
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Disease
  • Sirtuins and Resveratrol in Medicine
  • Calpain Protease Function and Regulation
  • Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms
  • Calcium signaling and nucleotide metabolism
  • Cellular transport and secretion

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Kaushik include Ana María Cuervo, Antonio Díaz, Inmaculada Tasset, Kristen Lindenau, and Olaya Santiago-Fernández. This suggests an active collaborative network primarily focused on molecular and cellular biology aspects of aging and cellular stress.

Kaushik has contributed to several notable publications, with frequent appearances in venues such as Science Advances, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Cell Biology, Cell, and Nature. Among their recent papers are:

  • "Chaperone-mediated autophagy prevents collapse of the neuronal metastable proteome," 2021, Cell
  • "Chaperone-mediated autophagy sustains haematopoietic stem-cell function," 2021, Nature
  • "Autophagy and the hallmarks of aging," 2021, Ageing Research Reviews
  • "Protective role of chaperone-mediated autophagy against atherosclerosis," 2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "Reciprocal regulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy and the circadian clock," 2021, Nature Cell Biology

Their research contributions focus predominantly on mechanisms related to autophagy, particularly chaperone-mediated autophagy, and its relation to aging, cellular proteostasis, and various disease processes.
