Samrat has joined our MSCA-DN this month! He will be working on the DC15 project in Federico Rossi’s lab.
The DC15 project aims to create catalytic pockets at specific locations in the membrane of a synthetic cell. These pockets can be controlled by light triggers to couple the membrane dynamics with the transphosphorylation of nucleic acid condensates.
Samrat completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemistry at the University of Calcutta, India. His master’s thesis focused on creating azoheteroarenes based photoswitches for molecular solar thermal energy storage.
Before joining ComeInCell, Samrat worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Calcutta, where he focused on the development of photoswitchable antibiotics. He also worked as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, working on the development of hemostatic microcapsules for dual drug delivery and rapid wound healing.
Welcome to our Doctoral Network, Samrat!
