Research focus
The broader aim of my scientific research is to study aspects of deregulation in cellular events that lead to metabolic disorders.
Background and experience
My Ph.D thesis focussed on identifying a mechanistic pathway macrophages employ to utilise stored triglycerides. During this time, I had developed scientific and technical skills pertaining to addressing questions related with cell biology and lipid biochemistry.
Working at the IMS-MRL
The overall aim of my current research is to identify aberrations in cellular events that lead to impaired GLUT4 translocation and thereby insulin resistance. I use a variety of cell, molecular and biochemical techniques to study these aspects.
