Biography
I am an aspiring researcher (Indian), currently working as a PhD scholar at Université Paris Diderot. I have completed MSc in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics from Manipal University and an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science (BSc Hons) from University of Central Lancashire, UK. During my studies and mainly internships, I got interested in subjects dealing with the stem cells therapeutic applications. This was the genesis of my decision to enrol for PhD and training in translational research. During my clinical training, industrial training, research institutes and public university experience; I worked on various types of stem cells eg. Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUCMSC’s), differentiation studies of murine fetal mesenchymal stem cells (FMSC’s) into DA neurons, murine Muscle Stem Cells (MuSC's) and several cell lines. I also learned Stereotactic surgery and behavioural tests for mice which was useful for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease. (Kumar A, et al, 2016)
