I am a protein biochemist with a penchant for molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology. Skilled in bacterial epigenetics, DNA methylation, enzyme kinetics, molecular cloning, protein purification, protein chromatography, and bacterial cell culture. PhD was focused in Biochemistry from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). I recently finished a postdoctoral research stint at the University of Warwick, Coventry, UK. My area of focus was Schizosaccaromyces pombe (fission yeast) cytokinesis. More specifically, I worked on understanding how cell wall synthesis in fission yeast coordinates its activity along with cytokinetic ring contraction during mitotic division. The skills I have acquired during postdoc research includes yeast genetics, fluorescence microscopy and image analysis, CRISPR-Cas9 mediated gene editing, and heterologous expression of yeast proteins. I also have extensive experience in content-editing, and critical editing of medical literature as well as English language copy-editing and proof-reading. I am keen on science communication, bioethics, and popular science outreach and education. I am passionate about science fiction, football, and sports in general.
