About Me
Over the last 7 years, I have spent in Germany as a researcher I have gathered a huge amount of technical experience by working and learning at different laboratories. I have worked under the close guidance of Prof Hartmut Micheal at the MPI-Biophysics and learned structural biochemistry of proteins which helped me in the generation of distinguished data that aided in transforming a genetic-diagnostic lab in Bonn into a structural biology lab. It was majorly with my thesis and work that not just me but my lab has transitioned and leveled up among structural biologists. I have gathered, learned, and subsequently developed working methods and pipelines for current projects in the group, helping new PhDs. I have outshined so far with my excellent communication and networking abilities which have equipped us with groups having cutting-edge technologies to collaborate with us and help yield a meta-data. Another measure of my academic self-administration is refelected by proper usage of my parental leave. From my pregnancy (late 2018-June 2019), maternity leave to parental leave (June 2019-October 2020): I utilized the time to learn, write and improve my manuscripts, thesis, and research grants. I was able to publish 2 first authored research papers, an excellent thesis, two research grants and a several prizes as an aftermath of my dedication, time management and efforts, which now secure my future in Science. I have proved time and again that I am able, and self sufficient not just to demand costs, but to procure funding and finally manage the budget also, as an individual, independent, woman in science.
The major open questions in biology/life sciences that excite me are how an organized biomaterial, i.e. fibrin-clot can have a varied fate as well as etiology in different scenarios of bleeding/thrombosis/thrombus from the different origins: what major biomolecules/pathways influence that and how. How promising is PPI in understanding the structural complexities of plasma proteome and ways to utilize it? You can find more about what I do here www.arijitbiswaslab.com.
Due to the lack of available teaching opportunities to young scientists I have not been given a chance/privilege to teach as such. However, I am very frequently involved in mentoring Ph.D. students and teaching them all bench methods and techniques that aid them in becoming independent researchers during the course of their Ph.D. If given a chance, I would love to teach students more about Cloning and protein synthesis and analyses as a core topic in biochemistry-biotechnology.
