Cell-size-dependent regulation of chromatin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Supervisor: Dr. Kurt Schmoller

Enrolled since 2021

I completed my BS-MS degree in Biological Sciences from IISER Bhopal, India (2016-2021). In November 2021, I joined the Schmoller group at Institute of Functional Epigenetics(IFE), Helmholtz Munich to pursue my doctoral studies.My PhD project focuses on the cell-size-dependent regulation of chromatin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
