Satish is a 3rd year PhD student interested in understanding how fundamental cellular processes, signal transduction pathways and thus, the organization of cell is disrupted in several disease conditions. Following his conviction, he joined Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), one of the premier research institutes in India that aims at integrating research and education at undergraduate level. During his masters in IISER, Satish worked with Dr. Mayurika Lahiri and investigated the activation of DNA-damage surveillance pathways in response to alkylating agents. Later, intrigued by the concept of tubulin posttranslational modifications (PTMs), as emerging regulators of microtubule cytoskeleton and their role in a number of human pathologies, he joined Dr. Carsten Janke’s lab at Institut Curie, France for his PhD.
