About Preethi D
I am a biochemist with a strong research interest in the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and chromatin dynamics. I am particularly interested in understanding how chromatin-modifying complexes orchestrate gene expression programs in cancer and metabolic diseases. My work integrates molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics to decode transcriptional regulatory networks and epigenetic alterations. Looking for a PhD position and also aim to translate fundamental mechanistic insights into innovative therapeutic strategies targeting epigenetic vulnerabilities.
