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.

Rahul Chajwa
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy HFSP project is focussed on understanding the birth, life and death of marine snow. A predictive understanding of the hydrodynamic, biotic, and non-equilibrium aspects of this sinking microbial ecosystem is a notoriously challenging and globally relevant problem and is the central theme of my research at Stanford University. I’m applying my training as a physicist to shed light on the dynamical aspects of microbial life in the ocean, and to contribute insights that can help mitigate the negative impact of human activities on global climate; something I feel strongly about.
