Overview

I started my research career in the field of molecular mycology as a Junior Research Fellow in Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, a premier research institute in India under the supervision of Prof. Kaustuv Sanyal. My research interest was cell cycle regulation by protein kinase and epigenetic regulation of biofilm formation by minor histone variants in human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. I was awarded the Marie Curie ITN fellowship for pursuing my doctoral studies in the laboratory of Prof. Attila Gácser in the Department of Microbiology, University of Szeged, Hungary in 2014. The topic of my PhD thesis was to elucidate the role of fungal eicosanoid molecules and micronutrient acquisition in the virulence of human fungal pathogen Candida parapsilosis. Recently I moved to University of Exeter to join as a Postdoctoral fellow in Duncun Wilson’s group in the MRC center. My current research focus is the regulation of Zn homoeostasis in human fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
