Aayushi's research is centered on the multifunctional non-histone chromatin protein PC4 (Positive Cofactor 4), with a strong emphasis on its emerging roles in genome maintenance, particularly DNA repair, chromatin organization, and epigenetic regulation. By investigating PC4’s molecular mechanisms and interactions, I aim to understand its broader impact on epigenetic regulation and the DNA damage response.
