About
Dr. Rajiv Pathak, an experienced virologist, embarked on his academic journey with an M.Sc. from the University of Lucknow, India (2007–2009). He then pursued his Ph.D. at the CSIR-Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology, Delhi, India (2010–2016), where he worked on understanding the role of potential G-quadruplex-forming sequences in microbial genomes. Subsequently, he embarked on a scientifically invigorating post-doctoral journey in the Department of Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, USA (2017–2022). Since 2022, Dr. Pathak has been working as a Staff Scientist at the Department of Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His current research work is multi-faceted and involves understanding the mechanism of various human diseases, including HIV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and SMARCB1-associated atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors. His pioneering work has garnered international recognition, with accolades received at esteemed scientific forums, including the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, USA. He has authored more than 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles that have been published in international scientific journals of high repute, such as Nucleic Acids Research, Acta Neuropathologica, and Nature Communications. His commitment to advancing scientific knowledge is further evidenced by his active engagement with scientific societies where he serves as both an esteemed editorial board member and an editorial review board member.
