Lab Members

Anu PV (August 2018 onwards)

PhD Scholar

Anu has always been fascinated by the diversity of life.  His interest in various life forms developed into a hobby of collecting a variety of animal and plant species, especially butterflies and ferns. Therefore, it was only natural that he chose Biology as his field of study. Anu acknowledges the contribution of his parents in encouraging and motivating him to choose his own life path. Anu excelled in his academic career all through as a young student. Anu saved some money to buy a simple microscope to observe life in a bit more detail and spent hours examining anything that he could lay his hands on, starting from blood cells from different species. Anu completed M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Department of Biotechnology, the University of Kerala in 2017, ranking first. During this period, he did an internship under DBT- Biotech Industrial Training Programme (BITP) at Novozymes Bangalore, worked on ‘enzyme application in herbal extraction’. Anu enjoyed attending conferences and scientific meetings that he feels enhanced his horizon. Anu is fascinated by the advent of recombinant DNA technology and hopes to employ some of the tools to address long-standing questions in stem cell biology. He works on the metabolic regulation of hematopoietic emergence in the mouse embryo. Anu is an artist at heart, loves clay craft, gardening (he loves growing ferns), watching sci-fi movies.

Shubham Mehatre (August 2018 onwards)

PhD Scholar

IMG_6026_edited.jpg

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 with 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 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.

Dhanagovind P T (August 2021 onwards)

PhD Scholar

Dhanagovind joined the lab as a PhD student in 2021 August. He graduated from National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneshwar with Integrated MSc degree in Life Sciences. His dissertation project was focussed on host-pathogen interaction studies under Dr. Sanjita Benerjee at NISER. Later, he worked as project assistant in the same lab understanding host innate immune responses in Staphylococcus epidermidis-Zebrafish infection model, the findings are now published in the Journal of Immunology. For his PhD research he is focusing on metabolic and molecular regulation of embryonic hematopoiesis. Apart from research, he is a passionate foodie who loves cooking and food arts. He likes to spend his free time reading fiction, listening to music, wandering in nature and day dreaming.
