Neuroscience researcher at SGT University who re-analyzed hippocampal microglia single-cell RNA-seq data in neuropsychiatric lupus.

At SGT University, I re-analyzed a published single-cell RNA-seq dataset of hippocampal microglia across control, NPSLE, and captopril-treated conditions. I used an R and Seurat workflow for quality control, clustering, annotation, and differential expression analysis.

I interpreted microglial sub-state changes in the context of neuroimmunology research, then wrote and defended my dissertation in May 2026. I also presented this research at the AI in Bioinformatics Conference at Chulalongkorn University.

For a research poster on AI-driven prediction of IDPs as drug-delivery vehicles in Alzheimer’s disease, I explored protein regions and ligand-binding combinations using bioinformatics and machine-learning tools. I received the Best Poster Award at I-SHINE AI 2025. I’m also establishing Sikkim Neuro Center, a dedicated neurodiagnostics lab offering EEG, NCV, EMG, VEP, and BAEP.
