Partha Pratim Das 41st Lorne Genome Conference 2020

Partha Pratim Das

I did my Masters in Molecular Biology at the International Max Planck Research School, Gottingen, Germany. Then, I moved to Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, UK to do my PhD with Prof. Eric Miska to study the roles of short RNAs/ piRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans germline development. For my post-doctoral research, I joined Prof. Stuart Orkin’s laboratory at Children’s Hospital Boston/ DFCI, Harvard Medical School to study how chromatin changes regulate transcriptional gene regulation in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In 2017, I have started my independent lab at Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Monash University. My present and future research interests focus on to elucidate how transcription factors (TFs) and epigenetic regulators, along with small RNAs and lncRNAs regulate gene expression in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and differentiated cells under normal and pathological conditions.
