About me
PhD researcher in Molecular Biology with expertise in bioinformatics, and systems biology. My work integrates wet lab experiments with computational analysis to study genes perturbed in planarian regeneration at high temperature. I also study viral-host interactions and tissue specific implications of virus. I mentor master students in research design, data analysis, and scientific writing, helping them develop strong analytical and publication oriented skills.
Interests: I am interested in host–pathogen interactions, where I investigate how viral proteins alter tissue-specific signaling networks can be altered in organs such as brain, heart, lung, and reproductive tissues. My work integrates transcriptomic profiling, differential gene expression analysis, protein–protein interaction mapping, and miRNA–mRNA network modeling to identify key regulatory hubs and potential therapeutic targets. I explore how viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, MPXV, and influenza influence oncogenic signaling, immune regulation, and tissue-specific molecular responses. In parallel, my doctoral research focuses on regenerative biology using the tropical planarian Dugesia bengalensis as a model system. I investigate how temperature stress influences growth, degrowth, regeneration dynamics, and survival. By combining in vivo experiments with transcriptomic and gene expression analysis, I aim to identify key genes and pathways involved in stress adaptation and regeneration.
