Biosketch

I am Purusottam Mohapatra, an Indian cell and cancer biologist from a small town of the western Odisha, India. I have strong postdoctoral scientific training in the field of cellular senescence, cancer cell signaling and experimental therapeutics from Lund University, Sweden and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. I am highly passionate about investigating the mechanical aspects of various cellular functions that play important roles in the normal growth of our body and the development of deadly diseases like cancers. I believe that proper understanding of the cellular and molecular events is crucial for the development of effective therapies for cancer and other diseases.
