Cell-signaling Biology Internship

About Internship

Professor, Department of Development biology and genetics , from Indian Institute of Science (IISc Bangalore), is accepting interns interested in the field of Biology, in the research area of Biochemistry.

The selected intern will be learning wet and dry lab skills in Cellular signaling in the area of tuberculosis biology and cellular signaling. The details of the project can be obtained by directly writing to me. Work will be on signalling in Aging, Inflammation and Infection, the three paradigms that our group works on. Towards understanding aging and inflammation, our lab focuses on a class of receptors known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their roles in the cascade of events which occur when cells grow old aka ‘aged’. Receptors, however, do not work in isolation, and our lab is keenly pursuing the mechanisms by which GPCRs and receptors of other classes, cross paths, a phenomenon known as ‘cross-talk’. We study the ramifications of such cross-talk in the context of cellular responses in aged cells, which we study using live imaging, pharmacological and gene inactivation and multiomics approaches. The ongoing work aims to understand the process and events which govern the aged associated inflammation, tissue injury and their impact of bacterial infection.
