I have graduated in molecular biology and genetics, and in 2023 I got my PhD in animal physiology, immunology, and developmental biology at Masaryk university in Brno. My work focused mainly on the Wnt signalling pathway protein Dishevelled and its post-translational modifications. I am generally interested in cellular signalling patways, protein-protein interactions and structural biology. In April 2023 I joined lab of  Cyril Barinka at Institute of Biotechnology of Academy of Sciences. Here, I study interactions of Dishevelled with microtubular cytoskeleton and its signalling consequences.

I have studied my Bachelors in Presidency University, Kolkata India in Biological Sciences and Masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay India in Biotechnology. I have developed a keen interest in immunology and cell biology during my studies and my Master’s dissertation which was focused on “Understanding the role of IL-9 in maintaining the integrity of the skin”. I wish to pursue my future research focusing on the mentioned disciplines of biology. I have joined Dr. Cyril Barinka’s lab on October 2018 and currently working on the project “Engineered antibodies as platforms for cancer imaging and therapy”. Apart from academia I have a big interest in painting and dancing.
