I have 9+ years of research experience in neuroscience with multidisciplinary approaches including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, microscopy and image analysis. I received Ph.D. in the field of neuroscience from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, in 2014, working in the lab of Prof. Shashi Wadhwa. During Ph.D. period my research was primarily focused on understanding the effects of prenatal auditory stimulation, particularly high intensity sounds, on the development of auditory system and associated behavioral phenotype in the avian model by studying the synaptic and cellular changes at morphological and biochemical levels. After completing Ph.D., I began my postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Stanley Watson and Dr. Huda Akil at the University of Michigan in 2014, continuing my research work as Research Lab Specialist Senior. During this period my work focused on understanding the dynamic balance between peptidergic systems in the regulation of feeding behavior, and role of early life stress on the molecularly distinct hippocampal-amygdala circuits which tunes the dynamics of emotional responses. I am involved in the development and improvement of cellular and molecular neuroanatomical methods including large scale in-vitro transcript detection and analysis to study gene expression in postmortem human brain and rodent brain.
Transcript-based characterization of monoaminergic interplay in normal postmortem human brains and its potential association with psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and major depressive disorder.
