Our lab is interested to understand the protein quality control processes adopted by a cell during stress and infection. We are using different biological systems to decipher the cross-talk between components of protein folding, degradation and ribosomal machinery which helps to maintain cellular homeostasis.
2009-13: Post-Doctoral Fellow at Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry Investigated the conformation of Ribosome-Nascent Chain complexes and how the conformational dynamics of nascent chain is affected upon its interaction with chaperones
2004-09: Ph.D. at CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology Investigated the structural transition between unusual secondary structures formed by Guanines rich sequences (Quadruplexes) and Watson-Crick duplex, and how this structural equilibrium modulate their respective biological functions
