Amaresh Chandra Panda
Summary
Dr. Panda obtained his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from National Centre for Cell Science, University of Pune, India. He worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow for five years at the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Baltimore, USA. He also worked as an Assistant Scientist at the University of Miami, Miami, USA, and as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado, Denver, USA. His studies have uncovered new mechanistic details of the post-transcriptional regulation by RNA-binding proteins, microRNAs, and circular RNAs in physiological processes, including insulin production, myogenesis, and cellular senescence. In 2019, he was awarded the prestigious Intermediate Fellowship by Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance. Currently, he is working as a Scientist-D at ILS Bhubaneswar under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. His research group at ILS is working to understand the role of poorly characterized circRNAs in muscle regeneration and insulin biosynthesis.
