Biography
I obtained my Ph.D. in 2006 from the National Centre for Cell Science at Pune University under the supervision of Dr. Bhaskar Saha. During my doctoral period I have studied the role of dendritic cell (DC) expressed co-stimulatory molecule CD40 in the regulation of immune response to tumors. At the end of 2006, I joined the lab of Dr. Howard Weiner to pursue postdoctoral training. My current research is focused on understanding the role of DCs and microRNAs in the regulation of inflammatory and regulatory T cells in patients with multiple sclerosis and its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).
