After doing a lot of theory on early warning signals for abrupt transitions in a bistable savanna ecosystem at Theoretical Ecology & Evolution laboratory, I have got an opportunity to start working on my interest as a post-baccalaureate researcher. I have recently joined Sunil Laxman’s laboratory at inStem, NCBS, Bangalore to work on aging. My motivation to join this laboratory is to work on “how manipulation of a particular amino acid in the diet of yeast can affect the protein homeostasis and aging of this organism.”

Currently, Sunil is helping me in refining the question as well as equipping myself with some new wet laboratory skills. I will update you soon about my work.

Cheers
Amit
