I have graduated in Microbiology at Himachal Pradesh University Shimla in India, and in 2019, I got my PhD in Enzyme technology, bio catalysis, and biotransformation at Himachal Pradesh University Shimla in India. After that in March 2020, I joined as Post Doctorate fellow in Dr. Deepak Sharma lab at Institute of Microbial technology CSIR, India, where I involved in Protein-protein interaction studies (mainly chaperones), C. elegans as a model system and yeast as an expression host system. In July 2023, I joined lab of Cyril Barinka at Institute of Biotechnology of Academy of Sciences as post doctorate fellow. Here, I work on modulation of structural and functional properties of the HSP90 chaperone machinery by reversible acetylation.

I graduated in Molecular and Cell Biology at Palacký University in Olomouc in 2023, where I became very interested in proteins and their functions, signaling pathways, and cells in general. After finishing my Masters, I moved to Prague to continue as a PhD student at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. I have joined Cyril Barinka’s lab at the Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Here, my work will focus on characterization of the substrate specificity of tubulin tyrosine-like ligase 11 (TTLL-11), the major cellular polyglutamylase.
