She collaborates with Marian Knight and Julian Knight on maternal sepsis research.
- University of Oxford | Research Fellow
- National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU)
- Formerly at University of Southampton & Centre for Human Genetics
Education:
- PhD in Epigenetics and Evolution of Genomic Imprinting, University of Leicester (funded by Open PhD Scholarship for Life Sciences)
Research Focus:
Harindra bridges epigenetics and immunology, exploring how functional genomics informs extreme immunity in maternal health and cancer. Her work spans:
- Epigenetic biomarkers in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Genomic regulation of innate immune activation/tolerance
- Maternal healthcare personalization through multi-omics
- Comparative epigenetics in social insects
Scientific Awards:
- Open PhD Scholarship for Life Sciences
Article Trends:
Her publications emphasize epigenomic analysis across diverse contexts: from maternal sepsis (2023) to macrophage enhancer landscapes (2022), CLL biomarkers (2020), and evolutionary epigenetics in bumblebees (2018). Common themes include DNA methylation, innate immunity, and context-specific regulation.
