Chetan Joshi, PhD
Post-doctoral Research Associate
I am a post-doctoral research fellow at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, pursuing research on host-pathogen interaction. My research interests revolve around addressing critical questions related to fertility, pregnancy, infections, and the impact of aging on tissue dynamics. I developed molecular and cellular methods to study host-pathogen interaction in reproductive tissues.
My goal is to establish a research group in India addressing reproductive health-related questions. My research program will blend my interests in microscopy, cell signaling, and host-pathogen interaction focusing on viral and bacterial infection in reproductive tissues.
