About
Dimithree Kahanda is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona, specializing in interdisciplinary research at the interface of biochemistry, electrochemistry, and molecular biology. Their work focuses on developing DNA-based devices for real-time monitoring of anticancer drug activity, studying DNA repair mechanisms via helicase dynamics, and engineering protein switches for intracellular electron transfer regulation.
Research interests include molecular diagnostics using electrochemical sensors, structural analysis of metalloproteins like ferredoxins, and enhancing DNA's electrical properties through chemical modifications. Kahanda's contributions involve creating innovative biosensor platforms for drug efficacy assessment and advancing our understanding of enzymatic processes critical to DNA repair and cellular metabolism.
Key research trends in their publications emphasize: 1) Development of chip-based systems for high-throughput drug screening, 2) Structural-functional studies of metalloproteins in microbial systems, and 3) Engineering nucleic acid constructs with enhanced electronic properties for bioelectronic applications. Their work bridges fundamental biochemical studies with applied technologies for biomedical diagnostics.
