Soumita Das, PhD
I completed my MS in Biochemistry with advanced Microbiology and my PhD on the transcriptional profile of Vibrio cholerae during diarrhea. I characterized the function of a new gene cluster (IAHP; IcmF Associated Homologous Proteins; later classified as Type VI secretion system) involved in enteric infection. During my Post Doctoral career, I characterized the function of the immuno-inhibitory molecule PDL1 during Helicobacter pylori infection and the host DNA repair pathway during gastro-intestinal infection.
