Dr. Niti Kumar is currently a Scientist in the department of Parasitology CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow 226031, India. She is interested to understand the protein quality control processes adopted by a cell during stress and infection. We are using different biological systems to decipher the cross-talk between components of protein folding, degradation and ribosomal machinery which helps to maintain cellular homeostasis.
Research Interest
Understanding the protein folding and degradation machinery of host and parasite, Investigating the Extra-ribosomal functions of Ribosomal proteins during Stress and Infection.
