Anushka Chakravorty pursuing Ph.D.

Jnc Email id: anushka@jncasr.ac.in

Year of joining the lab: 2017

Qualifications: M.Sc in Biotechnology from University of Pune

Research Interest: My research interests lie in understanding neuronal autophagy with an aim to unravel the mechanisms that govern the spatial compartmentalization of the same in neurons. I work with Drosophila as a model organism to decipher the cellular pathways that direct autophagosome biogenesis in the neuromuscular junctions, a defect in which is proposed to be causative towards neurodegenerative/ neuromuscular disorders.

I am a trained vocalist, and in my free time, I like to sing. Travelling, reading and yoga are my other passions.
