Hello, I'm Katha Sanyal

Mapping the binding dynamics of pro-growth transcription factors across development and regeneration

- Developed CUT&RUN and optimized it for mapping the dynamics of a pro-growth transcription factor involved in promoting axon regeneration beyond the injury site

- Implemented Hi-C to study 3D chromatin structure through genome-wide chromosome conformation capture

Small Molecule Screening for Neurite Outgrowth in Neuro2a Cells and Mouse Models

- Testing retinoic acid analogs as small molecules in the context of neurogenesis.

CRISPR mediated knockdown of potentially inhibitory NRTFs and their role in axon regeneration

- Developed CRISPR pipeline and optimised it for robust reproducible knockdown of transcription factors
