Shubham joined the lab in Aug. 2018 for his Ph.D. He graduated with a Master’s degree in Biotechnology from Vellore Institute of Technology in May 2018. Initially intrigued by the attention that stem cells were receiving, Shubham explored literature from the field during his undergraduate courses and decided to work in the field. During his courses, he worked on a project based on cancer biology and explored how the interaction between IGF2BP1 and p38 MAPK can play a role in cancer progression. For his Ph.D. research, he is working on integrin signaling in spleen hematopoiesis and the HSC niche in this tissue. Shubham likes to enjoy life outdoors. He likes to watch fictional and crime web series, his favourite being Sherlock Holmes. He likes spending time with friends and believes that friends are the greatest gift.
