About Me
I
am presently working as Ramanujan fellow at National Chemical Laboratory, Pune,
India and my area of research are in synthetic biology and structural biology. I am interested in lipid signaling pathways and membrane
protein translocation pathways. I have received a BS in Agricultural Sciences and a PhD in
Biotechnology from the National Chemical Laboratory. My doctoral work involved
the structural and biochemical investigations of enzymes involved in antibiotic
resistance. In my
post-doctoral, I have worked in membrane proteins, more
specifically on the structural and biochemical characterization of the Twin-arginine
translocation (Tat) pathway. I have determined the receptor component –TatC of
this pathway and proposed the model for signal peptide binding.
