Working on project titled “Synaptic aging as physiological synaptopathy”

I have completed my bachelor's and master's in neuroscience from India and Germany respectively. During my tenure, I have learned many laboratory techniques. I am familiar with and an expert in working with human-induced pluripotent stem cells. The skills and my areas of expertise can be reflected in m CV

Doctoral Candidate at the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Ulm University

· As the main project, working on Synaptic Aging as a physiological synaptopathy using rat primary neurons overexpressing poly (GA) inclusions and hiPSCs derived motor neurons from ALS patients to investigate the interplay between synaptic and autophagic alterations. By using high-resolution microscopy,

multi-electrode array (MEA) and pharmacological approaches, the aim is to uncover and rescue the neurophysiological abnormalities.

· As a side project, working to unravel the pathophysiology associated with the novel ALS gene – KIF5A.
