I am interested in understanding how the THAP9 gene is regulated and functions across different cell types. My research combines computational and experimental approaches to investigate gene biology. I utilize techniques such as transcriptomic and epigenetic analysis to uncover patterns of gene regulation, and apply gene editing tools to experimentally validate and explore gene function. Through this integrative approach, I aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which THAP9 influences cellular identity and behavior.

Hi reader…
I work on molecular aspects of THAP9 gene which helps it to jump/not jump over the course of time. If you can’t find me in academic block, feel free to find me in any nearby eateries or in the process of sneaking out from a crowd for a peaceful nap
’cause eventually I am a bong by heart…

I aim to study the effect of terminal domain deletions on the catalytic activity of DmTNP and also perform molecular dynamics simulations to predict THAP9 folding, inter-domain dynamics and protein-DNA interaction. Irrespective of where I am, you’ll find me yapping about coffee⚰️ and photography; however, you can be assured that I’ll never be restricted to these topics. More on our next conversation!

I work on omics data analysis using Machine Learning and WGCNA to find biomarkers of HNSCCs. I aim to further advance my skills by learning RNA-seq analysis and exploring additional computational methods. Apart from studies, I truly enjoy catching up on sleep and taking restful naps whenever I can.
