Mayank Modi

Mayank Modi is a faculty member at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. His research focuses on cellular mechanisms in wound healing, autophagy regulation via mTORC1 signaling, and cytoskeletal dynamics in osteoclasts, particularly in the context of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) deficiency.

• Research Interests: Vimentin function in tissue repair, mTORC1 pathway in autophagy, actin microdomain organization in osteoclasts.
• Key Techniques: Atomic force microscopy, stimulated emission depletion microscopy.

Analysis of his publications reveals a consistent focus on cytoskeletal proteins (vimentin, actin) and their roles in cellular stress responses, disease pathology, and structural-functional relationships at subcellular scales.
