Abhishek Jain, PhD, Principal Investigator
Abhishek Jain completed his PhD at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and postdoctoral training at Uppsala University, Sweden. Formerly a research faculty member at Yale School of Public Health and an NIH-NCATS KL2 Scholar at the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation, he explores how metabolomics, microbiome science, and host–microbe co-metabolism intersects to reveal novel pathways in health and cancer, with curiosity spanning chemistry, biology, data science, and clinical research. His work has expanded the Human Metabolome Database, advanced dried blood spot metabolomics, and earned multiple honors, including the Yale Research Impact Award, Early Career Member Award (International Metabolomics Society), Outstanding Early Career Faculty Award (Association of Clinical and Translational Science), Bioanalysis Rising Star Award (Taylor & Francis), and recognition from the Society of Surgical Oncology.
Outside the lab, he enjoys hiking, traveling, playing tennis or cricket, and discussing science and philosophy.
