Profile Summary

I possess in-depth 9 years of research experience (including PhD) in molecular biology and virology.I graduated with Masters of Science in Biotechnology from University of Pune, India in 2009. Later, I pursued PhD in Virology from National Institute of Immunology, India in 2014. I worked on the perturbation of host ubiquitin pathway by HIV-1 Vpr protein. I recently finished a 3 year Postdoc in Biochemistry and Virology from Germany. The focus of my career to date has been in identifying the role of post-translational modifications like ubiquitination and SUMOylation during HIV-1 infection. My projects over the course of nine years have been multidisciplinary combining molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology and virology. I have offered key contributions to the scientific field through on-going research leading to 5 publications in peer-reviewed journals and a couple of them under preparation.
