Prayag Murawala is an Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, University of Maine. His research focuses on complex tissue regeneration using the axolotl as a model organism, integrating developmental biology, evolutionary biology, and epigenetics with advanced techniques like gene manipulations, whole-body imaging, and single-cell omics.
- Ph.D., National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS), Savitribai Phule Pune University
- Interdisciplinary research combining genomics, biophysics, and transgenics
- Developed ethyl cinnamate-based tissue clearing and baculovirus infection protocols for axolotl studies
The Murawala Lab investigates why axolotls regenerate limbs, tails, hearts, and brains while mammals cannot. This work involves analyzing chromatin codes, fibroblast dedifferentiation, and evolutionary constraints on regeneration, with implications for human medicine and tissue engineering.
His recent publications explore chromatin regulation in limb patterning (2024), axolotl transgenic nomenclature (2022), and collagen IV evolution in kidney filtration (2023). Despite the strong publication record, no scientific awards or student lists are explicitly mentioned in the available data.
