Area of Expertise
Cancer Biology, DNA damage response and repair, mTOR signaling, Cellular and Molecular Biology
Brief Description of Research Interest :
My research interests essentially fall under DNA Damage Response (DDR) and Repair and Erythroid Biology. 
My earlier work has been on platinum based compounds and their mechanism of action in cancer cells. I then moved on to study the role of cell cycle related kinases in DDR and mTOR signaling. This was followed by a postdoctoral training in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai where my project was to understand the mechanism of mitochondrial regulation during erythropoiesis using mouse models. Currently, I am an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology at Yale University wherein I am trying to utilize UV-induced mutations in sun-exposed skin as a measure of past ultraviolet light exposure and new predictor of future skin cancer risk.
