About me

Completed doctoral training in 2022, followed by postdoctoral research at Northwestern University (2022–2026), with a strong focus on immunological mechanisms, T cell responses, and infectious disease biology. Proficient in a wide range of molecular biology, microbiology, and immunology techniques, including flow cytometry, cell culture, and pathogen handling.

Interests: I am writing to express my keen interest in the Remote job as an Biology Expert, With a strong foundation in immunology, molecular biology, and host-pathogen interactions, I bring over eight years of experience in tuberculosis (TB) research, including my recent role as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. My academic background and research expertise align well with the objectives of your research group, and I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to your ongoing and future projects. During my doctoral research at the National Institute of Pathology (ICMR), I investigated the role of a novel DNA methyltransferase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis. This work involved cloning and expressing the gene in M. smegmatis, performing in vivo mouse infection models, and analyzing immune responses through transcriptomic, proteomic, and FACS-based methods. These studies not only provided insights into epigenetic mechanisms of virulence but also fostered my interest in host-pathogen interactions and immune modulation. At Northwestern University, I have extended my research into the field of lipid-specific T cells and their role in TB immunity. I developed and characterized GEM TCR transgenic mice and employed both in vivo and ex vivo models to understand protective immune responses. My current work involves advanced techniques such as adoptive T cell transfers, mixed bone marrow chimeras, and CTL assays. Additionally, I am proficient in handling M. tb in BSL-3 facilities and have broad experience in molecular cloning, cell culture, FACS, and animal handling. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to scientific rigor and collaboration, which has led to several peer-reviewed publications (including in Frontiers in Immunology, Frontiers in Microbiology, and MBio) and a patent for a TB-specific signature protein. I believe that my diverse skill set and strong publication record make me a suitable candidate for your research program.
