Smitaroopa Kahali

About

I have completed Ph.D. in the Chemical Biology and Molecular Imaging group under the guidance of Prof. Ankona Datta, in the Department of Chemical Sciences, in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. I have worked on small-molecule and peptide-based fluorescent sensors to track the dynamics of different analytes within live cells. I am interested in how life works under physiological conditions and how it changes under pathophysiological triggers.
