  Our lab works on Parkinson's disease where we are defining molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with disease onset and progression. I am focusing on building plant model for Parkinson’s disease.

• Doctoral fellow

  • Sep 2002 - Nov 2010

• Research assistant

  • Sep 2002 - Nov 2010

  Identified adhesins from the fungus Aspergillus which are responsible for binding to human tissues. Prepared cDNA library from Aspergillus and screened it in S. cerevisiae for binding to fibronectin. These Aspergillus genes are good candidates for drug targets in treating the important fungal disease Aspergillosis. Experienced in:Molecular biology, gene cloning and expressionReal time PCR, RT PCR, RACE PCRYeast genetics and DNA database analysis
