Biography....... 

After completing my Doctoral research from Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology Unit at Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, I worked as an Assistant Professor in Department of Biochemistry, Central University of Rajasthan. Since my undergraduate studies at Hans Raj College at University of Delhi, I was very much fascinated about evolution of life. During my Post-graduate and doctoral research, my interest got more focused on evolution of sequences, structures and functions of cellular proteins.  While teaching at CURAJ, I got a wonderful opportunity to join Feinberg School of medicine, Northwestern University in Chicago. Now, I am looking at the structural diversity of amyloidic aggregates under various neurodegenerative disease conditions. I am more interested in looking at the structural heterogeneity among different types of disease-associated protein aggregates in different regions of the brain. I am also working on the quality assurance pathways and their physiological relevance in maintenance of the cellular health. I look at most of the biological problems from an evolutionary prism and believe that these long-standing problems, like cancer and neurodegeneration, may get possible solutions, only when we can understand their evolutionary history.
