Biography

She has obtained my MSc at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and my PhD in the life sciences at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad. I then did post-doctoral work at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York. I have been at IBAB since it was established in 2001. At IBAB I switched from being a biologist to being a policy researcher.

  In Silico Analysis of the FOXP3 Transcription Factor Associated with T-Cell Oncogenesis
  Author(s): Shouhartha Choudhury*
  
  Background: The X chromosome encoded FOXP3 gene is a unique regulator of the T-cell differentiation and immunosuppressive function. The nuclear transcription factor FOXP3 gene regulates lineage-specific differentiation in the Treg crucially maintenance of the immune homeostasis. The regulatory T-cell (Treg or CD4+ cells) play a role in the immune response for self-antigens, allergens, and tumours. However, FOXP3 gene function is inconsistent in tumorigenesis such as tumour-suppressive and tumour-promoting. A recent report suggested the FOXP3 gene repress tumorigenesis per effects on proliferation and apoptosis. Objective: My objective was to investigate the FOXP3 gene from the FOX family in between Homo sapiens and Musmusculus. The study of the FOXP3 gene is currently mandatory to explore the molecular mech.. View More»
