Fellowship: Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA

Scientific interest: I am pursuing my post-doctoral research fellowship in Prof F Stephen Hodi’s laboratory at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. I completed my Ph.D. from Prof. Rana P. Singh’s laboratory in 2018 and worked on exploring the anti-metastatic effects of small molecule inhibitor Fisetin in non-small cell lung carcinoma using in vitro as well as in vivo models. My current research interests involve investigating the role of angiogenesis in immune regulation and homing plus establishing 3-D models for studying them. In addition, I am using high throughput screening methods to establish expression libraries from patient-derived endothelium. My research efforts are also directed at studying mechanisms of immunotherapy in advanced melanoma patients.
