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\u00a0and\u00a0behavior.<\/p>\n Educational Qualification:<\/p>\n MSc (2020) : Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar<\/span> \n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Aditi Saha (Jan 2021- Present)” image=”https:\/\/labs.iitgn.ac.in\/mobil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cropped.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Hi reader… Educational Qualification:<\/p>\n Integrated M.Sc (Biotechnology)- 2015-2020: St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Sreejith Nair” image=”https:\/\/labs.iitgn.ac.in\/mobil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sreejith-e1749976010499.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Hola!
