I am a PhD researcher working under the umbrella of International Max Planck Research School for Biology and Computation (IMPRS-BAC) graduate school, in Berlin, Germany. I am broadly interested in the research fields of regeneration, musculoskeletal biology and immunology with a specific interest in how the temporal resolution of muscle tissue debris upon injury is controlled by muscle resident cells e.g., fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and infiltrating immune cell populations e.g., macrophages. The main goal of my research is to identify the precise cellular communication network between FAPs and macrophages, and how that mediates effective skeletal muscle regeneration.
