It’s time to change the title from tenure-track assistant professor to tenured associate professor! Thanks to students, mentors, family, colleagues and friends for their help and support. I am inspired and motivated to serve the science more than ever!
The first PhD from The Koirala Lab!! Congratulations Dr. Naba Krishna Das! The lab is proud of you and your accomplishments. Wish you all the best for future endeavors!
What a rewarding day for the Koirala Lab today! Graduate student, Manju Ojha, gave an excellent talk at FCBIS, and received outstanding biochemistry research award from CNMS at UMBC. Two undergraduates, Megan and Jason, received outstanding research awards! Congratulations!!
Finally got the notice. Very sad day for the MOSAIC program that supported some of the most amazing scientists I know, as well as some of the awesome people on my lab.
I earned my place in science, we do important work and we will not be deterred. In the meantime if you do want to support our lab, we have a donation page that links directly to our lab fund where you can make a tax deductible donation.

Structural Plasticity of RRE Stem-Loop II Modulates Nuclear Export of HIV-1 RNA https://t.co/nBcyRMHlfB
Excited to share a new preprint from the Koirala Lab! We studied how the structural plasticity of the Rev Response Element (RRE) can regulate the nuclear export of HIV-1 RNA!
Our lab's latest paper. This is so exciting!! This paper is literally 10 years in the making, and it is bringing me great joy to see it published.
Also the figures in it are 🔥so you should give it a read! https://t.co/wWOcpFuRiQ
Very proud of our @UMBCChemistry graduate student Anthony Casale on his first first author paper! It's online in Phys. Rev. Mater. @PhysRevMater and assesses if an underexplored family of oxides can support magnetism.

This study in @Nature addresses an important issue but erases the discrimination experienced by Asians in academia by lumping them in with white academics. And in this way, it elegantly pulls a racism while pointing out racism (1/7)

Really happy to share the final version of my first FIRST author paper, published in @jbiolchem, and presented earlier at DiscoverBMB! Here, we explored the differences between GTP-strict and NTP-promiscuous FeoBs using V. cholerae as a model.

Thrilled and honored to take first place in the Three Minute Thesis competition🏆 at American Crystallographic Association conference ! Presenting my research in just three minutes was an exhilarating challenge.

As a scientist who came to the US from the Global South, then became a US citizen after ~10 years while finishing my postdoc, privilege differences were quite stark.
Especially for me was the limited ability to apply for US pre/post-doctoral fellowships.

3rd year graduate student from the lab presenting her work in CNMS GradFest at UMBC! Amazing lighting talk! Congratulations, Manju! #umbc@UMBCChemistry#RNA
Science Twitter- these grad students were shot while in GA attending an @EntsocAmerica Branch Meeting. Random shooting on the street. They are gonna need some help with bills while they recover.
Let’s share this & help where we can!

Happy International Women’s Day!! This year, myself and some other amazing scientists in my department did a thing. Here is a snippet and a link to watch the full video on tiktok. #iwd2024#InspireInclusion#InvestInWomen https://t.co/VG12Aoemdb
