Deepshika obtained her Master’s degree in Bioinformatics from Pondicherry University in India. Following her postgraduation she gained experience in two different labs in India where her focus was to understand the novel crosstalk between histone post-translational modifications (specifically methylation) and RNA polymerase II mediated gene expression. In her research, she applied NGS techniques such as RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq to understand how epigenetics and transcription regulatory pathways are interconnected to regulate gene expression patterns, as they often tend to overdrive in disorders like cancer. In April 2023, Deepshika joined STOP lab to study the cross-talk of RNA cleavage and transcription termination. Besides research, she is passionate about dancing, travelling and cooking.
