Debasish Roy, PhD (TEd LAB)
Debasish is a postdoctoral researcher in the Tedeschi lab. He received his B.S. in Chemistry, Zoology, and Biotechnology from Bangalore University (India) and earned his master in Biotechnology and Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from VIT University (India). As a Fulbright Scholar, he was trained in stress physiology and transcription biology in Dr. Maria Hatzoglou's lab at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, US). There, he studied transcriptional regulation of the basal lipolytic machinery during fat cell differentiation. He then completed a short postdoctoral training with Dr. Konstantin Kandror at Boston University (Boston, US) studying circadian regulation of leptin in adipocytes. In the Tedeschi lab, Debasish brings expertise in cellular and systemic metabolism to explore the role of lipid metabolism in neuronal regeneration and repair. Outside the lab, he enjoys photography, painting and spending time in the natural parks around Columbus. Email: debasish.roy(at)osumc.edu Phone +1 614 293 6506 |

Elliot Dion, B.S. (TEd LAB)
Elliot received his B.S. in Psychology at Florida State University where he studied the visual pathways involved in unconscious distinctions between similar objects. After some time away from academia, a spark in spinal cord injuries was instilled. Now, Elliot is working on earning his Master’s degree at the Ohio State University studying astrocytes in the context of spinal cord injuries. Elliot likes doing photography in his free time.
