Angika Bhasym

About

Dr. Bhasym is a postdoctoral fellow in immunobiology at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), NIH, where she investigates novel mechanisms of T cell extravasation. Her research focuses on identifying and characterizing regulatory factors and their gene targets that govern the migration of human pro-inflammatory T cells into inflamed tissues. She employs transcriptomic and epigenomic approaches to uncover molecular pathways that modulate the transendothelial migration behavior of inflammatory T cell subsets.
Dr. Bhasym completed her Ph.D. from Manipal Academy of Higher Education in Karnataka, India. During her doctoral studies, she worked on multiple projects involving human peripheral blood cells, gaining extensive experience in working on primary immune cell handling and analysis. Her research has contributed to a better understanding of immune cell behavior in inflammatory and disease contexts, and she has published her findings in peer-reviewed journals.
She is experienced in working with clinical samples and has actively mentored graduate students during her academic training. Dr. Bhasym is a strong team player and collaborator, with a keen interest in translational immunology. She is passionate about exploring diverse aspects of human immunobiology in her future research career.
