Profile

Research Experience

I have several years of research experience on various electron microscopic techniques: negative staining, cryo-electron microscopy, single particle analysis, cryo-electron tomography, immune-electron microscopy, ultramicrotomy, Kleinschmidt's protein monolayer technique, and partial denaturation mapping of DNA. I have worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Florida State University (USA) on HIV/SIV glycoprotein spikes and their complexes with broadly neutralizing antibodies using cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging to provide structural information for designing better immunogen. I have also worked on structural intermediates of the bacterial replication initiation process and retroviral capsid structures using cryo-electron tomography as a career development fellow at Francis Crick Institute, London. Later I worked as a senior staff scientist in cryo-electron microscopy at the University of Sheffield, UK. Since my joining at NICED, my laboratory is working on enteric bacteriophages and their characterization by biophysical and structural methods...
 

Research Interest

My research interest focuses on studying enteric bacteriophages and their three-dimensional structure determination. Another research area is the enveloped viruses and associated membrane proteins to understand the structure-function relation and fundamental processes such as host-virus interaction and viral entry. I am also interested in structural analysis of protein and their complexes, immune-complexes to explain their functions in biological processes and related diseases. Surface structural changes and in-depth ultrastructural changes caused by different enteric pathogens are also studied in our division by scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Bacteriophage-host bacteria interactions are studies at high-resolution using a cutting-edge technique cryo-electron microscopy and tomography along with image processing techniques.
