Om Basukala
Hi, I am Om from Nepal. I did my undergraduate in Microbiology and then graduated in Medical Biotechnology from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. In my graduate studies, I explored anti-leishmanial activity of medicinal plant extracts that were indigenously used for Leishmainasis. Getting a chance to present my work in ICGEB, Italy in the Molecular Biology of Leishmania course with the help of AuthorAID travel grant, allowed me to meet my PhD supervisor, Prof. Lawrence Banks. In his lab in Trieste, Itlay, I explored the dependency of phosphorylation of E7 oncoprotein in the maintenance of carcinogenic phenotype of cervical cancer-derived tumor cells using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing techniques. In Prof. James DeCaprio’s lab, I am looking forward to demystifying carcinogenic mechanisms in MCC in order to identify druggable targets which could lead to future therapies. In my free time, I watch Sci-fi movies or play chess.
