Research Focus:
I am an Intermediate Fellow at the Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine. During this fellowship, I will try to understand the mechanisms of JAK/STAT signaling towards wound healing and immunity and due to the major implication of this research to immunology and wound healing in mammals in particular humans, it may help bring our understanding to develop therapeutics where this process is misregulated like autoimmune diseases.
