Sumanjit Datta

Sumjit was at UChicago in Prof. Bryan Dickinson’s lab, his project is primarily focused onto modifying the Split RNAP system by changing their binding partners with Ras and Raf proteins. Upregulation of these proteins have been shown to cause tumorigenesis and cancer, so they have become topics of intense research. Transfection of these protein chimeric

Sudharsan Kannan

Sudharsan was researching to understand the role of FMRP & FXR2P genes in the neurogenesis, a process affected in a number of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including fragile X syndrome. His lab was attempting to figure out whether removing Fmrp in progenitor cells or immature neurons (DCX+ cells) harms their development in any way. He

Suchintak Dash

 Suchintak worked on Carbon nanotubes field effect transistors (FET) specifically for biomedical applications. They worked on synthesizing the nanotubes by chemical vaporization method and then characterized them by scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy. Then they worked upon the functionalization of the transistors.

Siddhesh Gajanan Zadey

2017 Khorana Scholar   Siddhesh worked under Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone to evaluate neuroplasticity in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Siddhesh was using particular transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocols for this purpose. His project looked specifically at aMCI patients who do not have the significant (above prescribed threshold) Amyloid beta load in the brain
