Saheli Chowdhury

I come from The City of Joy, Kolkata, located in India. I have completed my PhD in Biotechnology from CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology. During my PhD, I tried to figure out the intricacies of The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in MASLD and hepatic proteotoxic stress. At Columbia University, I work in the Tabas laboratory at the medical campus. My research here is focused on unravelling the connection between Atherosclerosis and MASH and to delineate the molecular players involved in this axis. As the co-chair of the Outreach and Communications committee of CUPS, my endeavour will be to make science and its very many fascinating facets easily accessible to one and all by representing some chosen concepts in a lucid manner. Outside of science, I am obsessed with my fitness regime, books, podcasts, and music. I inherently have an inquisitive mind and therefore, love to explore new places and make new friends.
