Jijumon A. S.

Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering

BioI am a molecular cell biologist with interdisciplinary training in protein biochemistry, bioengineering, molecular biology, and structural biology. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Manu Prakash at Stanford University. I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biological Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (IISER-K). Following this, I moved to Europe and joined the Biological Research Centre (BRC) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as an ITC Fellow, where I completed a one-year training program in contemporary experimental biology and state-of-the-art techniques, along with a project on sarcomeric actin regulation in Jozsef Mihaly’s lab. In 2016, I began my doctoral research in Cell Biology and Biochemistry as a Marie Curie Fellow in Carsten Janke’s laboratory at Institut Curie, University of Paris-Saclay. My broader research interests include cytoskeletal regulation, proteomics, and the development of tools for molecular cell biology. I primarily use biochemical and bioengineering approaches to address my research questions. Beyond research, I enjoy reading, flying drones, running, playing pickleball, and driving.
