So I’m Dr. J now! PhD in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology! Thankyou to everyone who has supported me along the way. It was an awesome journey and I’m so excited for what’s next!

Our latest paper is out in the Journal of Biological Chemistry!

This is the last chapter of my PhD work, and I’m proud of the story we were able to tell.

Few things in life are black and white, and this axiom holds true for gene regulation in bacteria.

1/ You can’t pretend the pandemic didn’t happen. Some people don’t want to take the health risk of airborne infections for health reasons with ongoing viral waves. Excluding them by not providing a virtual option for participation is an ableist approach. You should do better.
