Welcoming Our New Postdoc, Mamatha

Mamatha completed her PhD in Dr. Krishanpal Karmodiya’s lab at IISER Pune, India, where she investigated the role of phase separation in the epigenetic regulation of antigenic variation in Plasmodium falciparum. Now, as a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, she has shifted her focus to Trypanosoma brucei, where she aims to uncover the molecular regulators underlying VSG-mediated antigenic variation.

“My research is driven by a fascination with the hidden epigenetic blueprint behind antigenic switching” says Mamatha.
