Sathi Goswami, PhD

Dr. Sathi Goswami obtained her PhD in biophysical chemistry from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, under the University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India in 2018. During her PhD she studied the interaction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and their metal complexes with DNA and proteins through spectroscopic and imaging studies. She also studied the effect of these drugs and complexes on standard cancer cells HeLa to demonstrate the changes in the epigenetic level.

Then she joined as a postdoctoral fellow at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Maharashtra, India in 2018. In postdoctoral studies her research was focused on the characterization of drug-protein interaction using different spectroscopy. In September 2022, she joined Integrated Structural Biology lab at ICTER as a postdoctoral fellow to work on the structure and functions of various proteins involved in the visual cycle.
