Vivek Verma
Vivek received his PhD degree from the University of Delhi in 2019. During his graduate work, Vivek studied inflammatory pathways during urinary tract infections and trichomoniasis. He received his postdoctoral training at National Dairy Research Institute, India in dissecting the immune-recognition of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract prior to taking post of lab manager at Dr. Bolisetty’s Lab. Currently, Vivek is working with Dr. Bolisetty to understand the inflammatory signaling during sepsis induced acute kidney injury. He also oversees general lab maintenance and ensures that projects are completed in a timely manner. He is fascinated by the immune and cellular homeostasis, how hosts behave differently during the encounter, progression, and the reparative phases of different diseases/pathologies. In the future, Vivek wants to work in unravelling the mechanisms and biomolecules responsible for the fine tuning of immune/cellular – homeostasis.
