AB  - Chirag  Vasavdaentered  the  MD-PhD  program  at  Johns  Hopkins  University  in  2014.  He  joined  the  Biochemistry,  Cellular  and  Molecular  Biology  graduate  program  and  studied  under  Dr.  Solomon  Snyder  in  the  Department  of  Neuroscience.  In  graduate  school,  he  discovered  that  the  heme  metabolite  bilirubin  binds  and  activates  the  orphan  receptor  MRGPRX4  in  itch  sensory  neurons,  potentially  contributing  to  itch  in  hepatobiliary  disease.  He  also  identified  that  bilirubin  is  a  physiologic  antioxidant  with  distinct  redox  activity  that  negatively  regulates  superoxide  signaling  during  neurotransmission.
