Prashant Mishra, M.D., Ph.D. Titles and Appointments Associate Professor School Medical School Department Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern | Pediatrics Graduate Programs Cell and Molecular Biology Biography Prashant Mishra received his undergraduate degree in biochemical sciences from Harvard University. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he studied the role of scaffolding in signaling pathways with Dr. Rama Ranganathan. As a fellow of the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund, he conducted postdoctoral work on regulation of mitochondrial behavior in the laboratory of Dr. David Chan at the California Institute of Technology. In 2015, he joined the faculty of Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern. Research in the Mishra laboratory is focused on mapping how the mitochondria are embedded into normal cellular function. This research will help identify new insights into mitochondrial diseases and allow the Mishra lab to develop clinical tools and therapeutic options.
