معرفی
Indrani Bose is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Western Carolina University (WCU), within the College of Arts and Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. from Duke University, an MS in Genetics from Calcutta University, and a BS in Botany from Calcutta University. Her research focuses on fungal pathogenesis using Cryptococcus neoformans, employing RNA interference and CRISPR technologies to study virulence genes. Additionally, she contributes to the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP), advancing genomics-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs).
Her teaching includes courses such as Human Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Principles of Biotechnology. Research interests span understanding stress responses in yeast, antimicrobial materials, and biolistic gene transformation in pathogens.
Bose’s articles highlight her work on fungal pathogenesis, genomics education, and molecular mechanisms in yeast biology. Her contributions include studies on Hsp104’s role in stress tolerance, nanomaterial antimicrobial properties, and kinetochore assembly in pathogenic yeasts.
