I am working on a project focused on unravelling the role of the eisosomal proteins in regulating mitochondrial function and dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work aims to define how plasma membrane–associated eisosomal components influence mitochondrial morphology, behavior, and homeostasis, shedding light on previously unexplored layers of inter-organellar communication.

My research focuses on elucidating the role of kisspeptin in mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH)–mediated regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism and inflammation during aging.

In parallel, I study dysregulated lipid metabolism in non–small cell lung cancer cells in collaboration with University of Michigan.

I work on characterizing mammalian mitochondrial subpopulations in relation to hepatic metabolic diseases. 

My current research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial-derived vesicle (MDV) biogenesis. I seek to understand how MDVs contribute to mitochondrial homeostasis and cellular stress responses. 

Also, I employ state-of-the-art CRISPR-based genome editing, including knock-in, knockdown, and precise point mutations using Prime Editing.

My  PhD research is centered on identifying the substrates for enzymes involved in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis in Saccahromyces cerevisiae.

My PhD work focuses on exploring the alterations in the mitochondrial proteome in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).  

My research work focuses on exploring the role of MIA40 in mitochondrial quality control and mitochondrial homeostasis. 

My research work focuses onidentifying the role of Mge1-a nucleotide exchange factor of Hsp70 under different physiological stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

I am characterizing the Mitochondrial Derived Vesicles (MDVs) and their potential role in inter-organelle communications.

I manage the lab funds. From processing funds to handling billings and purchases, they ensure science happens without tripping over administrative chaos. 

I maintain equipment availability and readiness, so experiments start on time and chaos never gets a bench pass.
