Personnel

Soma Ray, PhD
Senior Research Associate: 2007-present
Email: sray2@kumc.edu

Soma's research is focused on understanding transcriptional regulation of key endothelial genes during endothelial lineage specification and angiogenesis. She is also involved in research related to GATA2 function and regulation during trophoblast cell differentiation.

Debasree Dutta, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow: 2007-present
Email: ddutta@kumc.edu

Debasree is working on the transcriptional regulation of VEGFR1 locus and also on the role of PKC signaling in ES cells.

Pratik Home, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow: 2008-present
Email: phome@kumc.edu

Pratik is working to understand regulation and function of GATA factors in TE and in trophoblast cell lineages.

Biswarup Saha, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow: 2010-present
Email: bsaha@kumc.edu

Biswarup is working on understanding epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression during trophoblast lineage development.

Sridevi Nakka, PhD
Research Assistant: 2009-present
Email: snakka@kumc.edu

Sridevi helps everyone in the lab and is working with Soma to understand transcriptional regulation of endothelial genes.
