Post doc opportunity enquiry

[Kuppuramalingam Aparna]

Dear community,

I am currently finishing my Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University, Israel, under the guidance of Prof. Mia Horowitz, where I investigated the molecular and cellular mechanisms of GBA1- and SMPD1-associated Parkinson’s disease using Drosophila models.

I have extensive experience in molecular and biochemical assays, quantitative gene and protein expression analysis, imaging-based phenotyping, and pathway characterization, with a strong focus on assay design, optimization, and reproducibility. I am also highly motivated to expand my expertise in therapeutic mechanism investigation and preclinical functional assays.

My research emphasizes translational outcomes, data analysis, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, aligning with the position’s focus and integrating experimental results into therapeutic development. I am eager to contribute my scientific rigor, problem-solving ability, and mechanistic insight to advance novel treatments.

I am willing to acquire new skills and adapt to novel environments. I am eager to expand my expertise to the technologies in the field of genetic diseases, from diagnosis to treatment. I am committed to teamwork, knowledge sharing, and fostering innovation.

I would be grateful for any guidance, reference or contacts regarding research groups accepting postdocs.

Sincerely,
Aparna Kuppuramalingam.
