Recent Employment Details (Past few years):
- 2016 - present: Scientist-I (Department of Biophysics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi)
- 2014-2016: Senior Resident/Demonstrator (Department of Biophysics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi)
Brief Research Area:
Structural biology: We are interested in understanding the intricate structure and function of Membrane proteins and Macromolecular complexes. To accomplish this, we are harnessing the power of Cryo-Electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography along with other biophysical and biochemical methods in order to understand the structure function relationships.
