I have always been fascinated by science. I used to wonder about the crucial mechanistic underpinning of epigenetic and cellular signaling processes governing phenotypical complexity and eager to explore them. During my PhD, I worked on how GPCR signaling fine-tunes the endothelial dysfunction and VOC (vaso-occlusive crisis) in sickle cell model. Currently, I am working on a specific protein family POTE which are precisely expressed in Prostate, Ovary, Testis and Embryo. I am dedicated to understand, the potential role of POTE proteins in controlling the regulatory module of Notch signaling in gynaecological malignancy and chemo resistance in ovarian and patient derived organoid model.  (Research profile: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bimal_Jit)
