Postdoctoral Fellow
Subrat received his undergraduate degree from School of Life Sciences, Sambalpur University, Odisha, India. Then, he moved to Pune to pursue his PhD training in National Institute of Virology-University of Pune, India. During his graduate study, he investigated the phenotypes and functions of NK cell in the chikungunya patients with different clinical presentations. Also, studied the involvement of cytokine signaling inhibitors in chikungunya virus infection. Currently, he is interested in studying the impact of intrinsic cellular metabolism on NK cell antiviral function in vivo. In his free time, he enjoys playing outdoor games, sightseeing, and listens music.
