Aug 2014 - Aug 2019
I completed my Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Biology from University of Dayton Ohio. Our lab previously identified Novel Notophthalmus viridescens proteins having new sequence motifs by denovo assembly of newt transcriptome combined with proteomic validation. What is their function? intrigued us. The goal of my PhD degree was to discern their function using Drosophila melanogaster as genetic tool. Results show that these genes can regenerate retinal neurons in Drosophila in a non-cell-autonomous fashion during both early and late stages of eye development. They do so by regulating wingless pathway. It is amazing because novel genes from newt (who posses incredible capability to regenerate) restore missing tissue in Drosophila (genetically amenable animal model). I got outstanding PhD research award from University of Dayton for my PhD Dissertation research. I also received Gerald L. Willis award of excellence for teaching introductory labs during my PhD.

Cytoskeleton play a major role in deciding cell fate. Our role was to study effect of post translational modifications in tubulin protein of microtubules on Axon regeneration. C. elegans was the animal model used for such studies. I learnt, and successfully implemented CRISPR Cas9 system in this lab. https://anindyaghoshroy.weebly.com Cytoskeleton play a major role in deciding cell fate.

Jul 2012 - Jun 2013
I did my masters degree in Biomedical engg. with GPA of 4/4. Published two peer-reviewed research articles, and one review article. Prepared a composite scaffold (silk fibroin/chitosin/Gelatin) through Freeze Drying technology to support the growth and differentiation of human Mesenchymal stem cells to cartilage with slow and sustainable release of antimicrobial drug at site of Implant.* Research article is published in Journal of Biomaterials Application, 2015, 29(9) 1314–1325 http://jba.sagepub.com/content/29/9/1314.full.pdf?ijkey=vVb6osZRWAYa1vR&keytype=finite Show less
