J. Prasad

J. Prasad studies how lung cells behave under low-oxygen (hypoxic) conditions, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease that causes scarring of lung tissue. Much of the work focuses on how altered energy metabolism—especially lactate production and processing—drives fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) to transform into myofibroblasts, the scar-forming cells implicated in fibrosis. Some earlier and unrelated publications also touch on computational/engineering topics such as cyber-physical systems and image-based lung cancer detection.

Publication output was absent from 2017-2020, then began in 2021 with a peak of 5 papers in 2023, followed by a decline to 1 or 0 papers per year in 2024-2026, suggesting an irregular and recently slowing publication pattern.
