About me
I am a Phd (SRF) student at IISER Kolkata working on Spike protein Host cell interaction.
Research Interest:
My study is focused to understand the virus induced demyelination in an experimental animal model. We are dissecting the spike protein (virus host attachment protein) to design a therapeutic target to check the virus induced neuroinflammation and neuroinflammation mediated demyelination and axonal loss.These finding will provide us an insight for effective MS treatment.
