Dr. Kuppusamy received his doctoral (PhD) degree in 1986 with specialization in EPR spectroscopy from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. Following a Fogarty Fellowship from NIH, Dr. Kuppusamy joined the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1987 as a Research Fellow in the Division of Cardiology and moved to the rank of Associate Professor in 2001. In July 2002 he moved to the Ohio State University, where he is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine. He also serves as the Director of the Biomedical EPR Spectroscopy & Imaging Facility in the HLRI.

The EPR Core Lab offers cutting-edge magnetic resonance technology for detection, quantification, and visualization of free radicals in biological systems. The method is routinely used to measure free radicals such as superoxide, hydroxyl and nitric oxide in chemical/biochemical biological systems. EPR also enables measurement and imaging of physiologically pertinent tissue parameters such as tissue perfusion, oxygenation, metabolism, redox state, viability and pH using appropriate spin probes.
