Postdoc

A virology enthusiast from the vibrant state of West Bengal, India. In the realm of leisure, I find solace in walking amidst green, enjoying movies and music. I find great pleasure in delving into the latest developments in the ever-evolving domain of virology. Having embarked on a scholarly journey, I pursued my doctoral research at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata, India. During my doctoral tenure, I studied clinical dengue viruses, exploring the fascinating interplay of serological cross-reactivity between dengue and the formidable SARS-CoV-2. At LBRI, I shall be looking into the unwavering concern for the influenza virus and its intricate interactions with its host.

I am an Undergraduate student from UNM part of the Combined BA/MD Program. I am majoring in Biochemistry and aiming to be a physician and work in New Mexico. I am very enthusiastic about science in general, and chemistry specifically. I consider that to be a better doctor it is important to understand the pathogen’s biology rather than just memorizing the disease they cause. I am very excited to learn about viruses and genetics while experiencing the reality of a research laboratory.

I am an undergraduate student from UNM. I am working towards dual degrees in Biology and Global and National Security Studies, and I will be graduating this May. I have had some research experience in ecological restoration, but I have been interested in biomedical research since I began my undergraduate education during the pandemic in 2020. When I am not studying, I like to hike, rock climb, or stay at home with a good book or movie.
