Saugat Pokhrel

Saugat Pokhrel, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Gestwicki Lab at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). His research focuses on protein biology, neurodegenerative mechanisms, plant cellular processes, and molecular biology.

Research interests include molecular chaperones, protein aggregation, tau protein dynamics in neurodegenerative diseases, immune responses in plants, and organelle biogenesis. His work bridges biochemical and cellular approaches to study protein interactions and organelle function.

Key publications explore CC-TPR proteins' roles in chaperone systems, tau phosphorylation's impact on protein stability, plant GTPases in immunity, and imaging techniques for organelle analysis.

No scientific awards or grants are listed in available materials. He is affiliated with the Gestwicki Lab, where his current projects likely involve protein quality control mechanisms and cellular stress responses.
