معرفی
Sunandini Chandra is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on cellular mechanisms including nuclear pore complex dynamics, autophagy, membrane fusion, and viral entry processes. She holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Delhi (2017), an MSc in Biotechnology from Amity University (2008), and a BSc (Honors) in Physiology from Presidency College (2006).
Research interests span molecular biology, virology, and drug delivery systems. Key areas include understanding how nuclear pore complex homeostasis relates to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, and investigating autophagy pathways for therapeutic applications. Her work also explores cytoskeletal remodeling during viral infections and developing targeted drug delivery systems using viral vectors.
Recent publications highlight contributions to nuclear membrane trafficking mechanisms, Sendai virus entry dynamics, and glycoengineering for antiparasitic drug discovery. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges cell biology with translational medicine, focusing on both fundamental mechanisms and applied biotechnology solutions.
