My Background
Personal Profile
With a solid foundation in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, I am currently advancing my research at ETH Zurich, where I explore the intricate roles of nuclear DNA repair proteins in mitochondria and their implications on cellular function. My work includes using advanced imaging and bioenergetic techniques like super-resolution microscopy & seahorse flux analyzer. I have presented my findings at prominent scientific symposiums in the ETH domain.
Previously, at the University of Hyderabad, I focused on the molecular underpinnings of diabetic kidney disease. My research included understanding calcium dynamics associated with mitochondrial-mediated podocyte cell death. Additionally, I actively publish high-impact journals and science communication, contributing illustrations and articles to various platforms. My diverse skills and experiences equip me to tackle complex scientific challenges, driving innovation in the life sciences.
