ARINDAM PALODHI, Ph.D.

Technical Sales Specialist, Complete Genomics

Arindam's PhD work was focused on identifying driver mutations in the mitochondrial DNA of advanced stage oral cancer patients using state of art NGS technology and computationally predicting the impact of these mutations in patient prognostic outcomes.

JAGYASHILA DAS, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Researcher,  University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine, PA, USA

Jagyashila did her PhD in understanding the temporal changes in epigenomic landscape during pregnancy and its relationship with preterm birth outcomes. She identified important biological processes that orchestrates healthy pregnancy leading to full term delivery, and the likely processes that lead to preterm birth.

MRIGYANKA CHAKRAVARTY, Ph.D.

Manuscript Editor, Scientific Reports, Nature Portfolio

After PhD, Mrigyanka joined Dr. Maitra's lab as a Senior Project Associate. During this time there, she worked on unearthing the epigenetic underpinnings of preterm birth from a north indian cohort.

SILLARINE KURKALANG, Ph.D.

Research Professional, University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA

During post-doctoral research at Maitra Lab, Sillarine focused on  -

(1) Identifying the recurrently somatic mutated genes in gastric cancer using targeted and exome sequencing 

(2) Identifying the intratumor heterogeneity associated with tumor recurrence in oral squamous cell carcinoma gingiva buccal (OSCC-GB) cancer using single-cell RNA sequencing

AYANTEEKA MONDAL​

Ayanteeka worked as a project associate II at Maitra Lab. She was actively involved in performing the low-pass whole-genome sequencing (LP-WGS) of maternal peripheral blood and fetal umbilical cord blood as a part of the GARBH-Ini - Phase II project.
