Aishwarya Dash, MSc PhD Candidate, Department of Hematology Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India
I am currently pursuing PhD in the Department of Hematology at the PGIMER, Chandigarh, India. My current research interests focus on various hematological malignancies, with a particular emphasis on multiple myeloma. As a DST INSPIRE Fellow, my PhD research centers on the proteomic profiling of cells within the bone marrow microenvironment, specifically bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells, to discover prognostic biomarkers for multiple myeloma.
I hold a Master's degree in Genomic Science from the Central University of Kerala, where I graduated as the top-ranked student, earning the prestigious DST INSPIRE fellowship. My academic achievements include qualifying several national-level examinations such as GATE Biotechnology and CSIR NET. My MSc research investigated the anticancer activity of an antimicrobial peptide against human cervical cancer cells.
I possess extensive hands-on experience in advanced laboratory techniques, including flow cytometry, cell culture, co-culture, LC-MS and confocal microscopy
