Biography:
- I am from India where I did my schooling and undergrad from MS University, Baroda and Devi Ahilya University Indore, India.
- Then I moved to the United States to join University of California, Riverside, where I got my masters degree in microbiology.
- From there, I came to Purdue to pursue Ph.D. in Molecular Virology at Biological sciences department under Dr. David A. Sanders.
- Here, I studied Retroviruses (HIV-related viruses) and alphaviruses (VEEV) and the aspect of virus entry, assembly and membrane fusion.
- I joined Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN as a research fellow to work with Dr. Roberto Cattaneo to study Measles virus entry, glycoprotein interactions and membrane fusion triggering.
- Currently, I am working in Dr. Richard Kuhn's Lab at Purdue Structural Biology as a research associate and studying Dengue virus-induced perturbations in the host proteome and metabolomic environment.
