Professional Narrative

Presently I am working as a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine (P.C.C.S.M.,) at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (A.I.I.M.S.,), New Delhi, India. I have worked as a Senior Research Scientist (2015-2020) at the Department of Paediatrics and P.C.C.S.M., New Delhi.  I have completed my Post-doctoral fellowship (2012-2015) from the Department of Neuro-Biochemistry and P.C.C.S.M., New Delhi, India, and PhD in Medical Biotechnology (2006-2011) from A.I.I.M.S., Jamia Hamdard, University and Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB), New Delhi.

I have been working in the field of Metabolic Research including obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea, muscle mass, vitamin D deficiency, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) for 15 years. During this period, I have established the Sleep Laboratory, Metabolic research laboratory, Molecular, and Biochemistry laboratories and standardized all techniques used in modern-day research in charge of these laboratories. In addition, I am an expert in Basic and Clinical Science, Clinical and Translational Health, and Clinical and Drug Trials research experience and leading a group (50 research staff).

My academic dedication can be judged by my publications as I have already published 46 full papers and more than 50 abstracts in international and national journals with good impact factors. In addition, to date, I have 2791 citations and the h-index is 21. I have also presented my research work at different international (USA, Germany, Spain, Bangkok, Srilanka, and Nepal) and national conferences. Further, I am dealing with more than 7 research projects as a co-principal investigator. I got many awards & honours; best humanitarian award in 2020, best research excellence award from the Institute of scholars (2020),   world sleep day activity from the world sleep congress (2017), Young Scientist project (2014) from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, New Delhi, India; young investigator award in World sleep Congress, Seoul Korea, 2015 and clinical research scholarships by Indian Council of Medical Research (2007).

For the first time in India, we have shown that OSA is a major contributor to the acceleration of cellular ageing processes through telomere shortening in Asian Indians (Bhatt et al, 2021). In another study, besides age, obesity, and subcutaneous adiposity (predominantly truncal) are major contributors to telomerase shortening in Asian Indian women with prediabetes (Bhatt et al, 2021). We also analyzed polymorphisms of insulin resistance (Bhatt et al, 2021), pro-inflammatory cytokine genes (Bhatt et al, 2019) and systemic inflammation (Bhatt et al, 2019) for OSA and NAFLD, vitamin D deficiency in prediabetes (Bhatt et al, 2020 & 2018), obesity (Bhatt et al, 2014), and fatty liver (Bhatt et al, 2012), a new index for prediction of fatty liver (Bhatt et al, 2015), novel gene (Myostatin, Bhatt et al, 2014) for muscle mass and body fat, and multiple genes for fatty liver (Bhatt et al, 2017, and obesity (Bhatt et al, 2012, review) in Indians.

Another contribution of my work is conducting large-scale intensive Health Education Awareness Programs and Medical Camps among commercial vehicle drivers (100 transporters), children, parents, and the public on the health impact of obesity, sleep apnea, malnutrition, sedentary lifestyle, and air pollution across 100 schools/colleges and more than 100 residential associations in urban and rural areas, Delhi and NCR, India, and participated in more than 20,000 students, their parents, and teachers. The Health Education Awareness Programs have been given through lectures, workshops, group discussions, leaflets/booklets, and audio-video media. I also initiated health education programs and medical camps focusing on women between the age of 20-60 years, targeted for proper nutrition and lifestyle advice and early detection of bone disorders, pre-diabetes, and diabetes. This program included about 2000 women from urban and rural areas. They were made aware through lectures, workshops, group discussions, leaflets/booklets, audio, and video media on dietary vitamin D intake and sun exposure. 

My long-term goal is to become an independent team leader in medical research. I believe that my research experience would help me to get the opportunity to work with you. Further, I believe my skills and experience will match very well with the expectations of the position. The role demands an individual who is adept at managing and leading a large team. Hard work and consistency are essential for success in research and I feel that I shall be able to fulfil both these criteria and come up to the expectations of the position.
