Manoj Kumar Jaiswal (Hindi: मनोज कुमार जायसवाल) is an Indian-American neuroscientist.[1] He is the full-time faculty (Instructor) in the Department of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.[2]

Early life and education[]

Jaiswal was born in Varanasi (Hindustani pronunciation: [ʋaːˈraːɳəsi], also known as Benares, Banaras (Banāras [bəˈnaːrəs], or Kashi (Kāśī [ˈkaːʃi], a major religious hub in India and holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism and Jainism. He became interested in Biology at a young age and began doing research in the field as an undergraduate student.[3][4]

Career[]

In Jan 2008 he received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Göttingen in Germany. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2009 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From 2010 to 2015 he was a at the , in Bethesda, Maryland. From 2015 to 2017 he was a Scientist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute/ , in New York City, New York. In 2017, he became the full-time faculty (Instructor) at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, New York.[2]

Jaiswal studies the critical role of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), typical for familial ALS, in the impairment of [Ca2+]mito handling and perturbation of Ca2+ homeostasis in SOD1G93A mice and cell culture models of ALS. These finding, reported in Pharmacology [5] and Neuroscience Journal.[6][7] Jaiswal has also studied molecular mechanisms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) using 2-photon in-vivo imaging and 3-D microscopy at CNRM/NIH-DoD center. He developed a minimally invasive in-vivo 2-photon imaging method and established SCALEA2/CLARITY tissue clearing techniques for intact volumetric 3-D imaging of optically cleared transparent mouse and human brains. As a Research Scientist in the Department of Psychiatry at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, he focused on studying adult neurogenesis in the brains of patients with major depression and other psychiatric disorders. His lab work is conducted on mice, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and Human postmortem tissue. Jaiswal also has an avid interest in science communications as well as science and society. Dr. Jaiswal's research focus on neurodegenration in ALS [8][9] Brain Injury [10] Epigenetics [11] and psychiatric disorders.[12][13][14][15] Hyperexcitability is considered to be a hallmark of ALS, and it has been suggested that the ALS-associated hyperexcitability may stem from altered function of the neuronal glutamate receptors due to inefficient RNA editing of one of the receptor's subunits. The immediate major focus of his work will test this hypothesis using (1) autopsied tissues obtained from the brain and spinal cord of ALS patients and (2) motoneurons differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) derived from ALS patients.[16]

Dr. Jaiswal lab uses single-cell multiome (ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq) and FACS sorted cell-type-specific high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and Hi-C) and developing imaging (Spatial Transcriptomics, RNAScope, Tissue Clarity), tools for single cells genome analysis, RNA editing and 3D mapping in human brain tissues.[17] ALS-associated hyperexcitability and many psychiatric disorders may stem from altered function of the cell type-specific excitotoxicity and aberration of glial glutamate transporters due to mutation in an expansion of GGGGCC (G4C2) hexanucleotide repeat in a noncoding region of the C9orf72 gene. His lab is performing studies on autopsy fresh-frozen human postmortem brain to test the fundamental mechanisms of C9orf72 associated neurodegeneration in ALS and FTD. Primary areas of interest include the role of epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone modifications, regulation of gene expression, signaling mechanism, and mRNA editing focusing on ALS, FTD, and dementia.
