2002-2006: PhD in Biotechnology from IGIB Delhi/Pune University. Postdoctoral Fellow: 2007-2009, SIMO SITRA Fellow and Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Fellow, Molecular Immunology group at Turku, Finland. Scientist: 2009-2013, Laboratory of Systems Biology, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland Joined ILS Bhubaneswar in December 2013 as Scientist-D and Ramalingaswami Fellow. Currently Scientist-F at ILS Bhubaneswar. Established Immuno-genomics & Systems Biology group to understand how Dendritic cell responses are controlled at the transcriptional level. The group employs systems level analysis tools including high-throughput functional genomics, metabolomics and a variety of disease models.

The major goal is to identify molecular targets or metabolic switch that can perturb T cell function through Dendritic cells. H index: 25, Citations: 3506 Peer reviewed Publications: 56, Book chapters: 3
