My work as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of North Dakota focuses on the protective role of the female hormone 17α-Estradiol against HIV Associated Neurological Disorders and substance use. Our lab specializes in the role of neuronal endolysosomes in HIV, Alzheimer's disease, and other neuropsychiatric disorders. My earlier Ph.D. work in India focused on the role of proteases in cell death in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. 

Endolysosome Localization of ERα Is Involved in the Protective Effect of 17α-Estradiol against HIV-1 gp120-Induced Neuronal Injury

SARS-CoV-2 S1 Protein Induces Endolysosome Dysfunction and Neuritic Dystrophy

Dual role of an essential HtrA2/Omi protease in the human malaria parasite: Maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and induction of apoptosis-like cell death under cellular stress

HIV-1 gp120 Promotes Lysosomal Exocytosis in Human Schwann Cells

Plasmodium falciparum OTU-like cysteine protease (PfOTU) is essential for apicoplast homeostasis and associates with noncanonical role of Atg8
