Profile Summary

My expertise spans across the fields of neuroscience, virology, and nanobiology. My doctoral research (From Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata) was primarily focused on neuroscience, specifically in the context of disease modeling, where we utilized Multiple Sclerosis as our primary model. In this capacity, I engineered mutated beta coronaviruses to replicate the conditions of Multiple Sclerosis, which is a highly intriguing disease model. Beta coronaviruses, due to their mutability, presented a captivating challenge for me to work with. Their genetic adaptability is a fascinating aspect that both piqued my interest and posed significant challenges. However, it's worth noting that their truncated RNA genome also provided me with a certain degree of freedom to manipulate and engineer them for research purposes. During my doctoral studies, I was also involved in a collaborative project centered around single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). This project sparked my interest in nanoparticles and their potential impact on neuronal systems. Subsequently, during my postdoctoral work at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India. I delved deeper into this area by focusing on the maturation of primary hippocampal neuronal networks. It was during this time that I made noteworthy observations regarding the modulation of neuronal network signals in the presence of semiconducting SWCNTs. Building on these insights, I further expanded my research during my current postdoctoral position, where I explored the effects of various types of nanoparticles on neuronal systems. This journey has allowed me to bridge the gap between neuroscience, virology, and nanobiology, providing a unique perspective and opening up exciting avenues for future research and discovery.
