ITI Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Washington - Dept. of Immunology
Dr. Mishra earned her Ph.D. in Bioengineering from IIT Kanpur by creating nanocarriers for medical applications with mentorship from Dr. Sri Sivakumar. For her postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Mishra will focus on innate immunity research with Dr. Ram Savan in UW Immunology. Dr. Mishra uses her bioinformatics skills to investigate how interferons are elicited in different cell types during infections and in autoimmune diseases. Dr. Mishra enjoys mixing molecular biology, genomics, and data science to discover interesting stories hidden in biological datasets. As an ITI Fellow, she is looking forward to supporting others in science through mentoring while creating connections in the Seattle research community.
