Katie Cederberg
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Cederberg's primary research interests focus on studying the efficacy and effectiveness of exercise for managing symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and co-occurring conditions (e.g., periodic limb movements, insomnia). She is currently an NHLBI T32 funded Postdoctoral Scholar in the Mignot Lab, where she she devotes her time to conducting research aimed at better understanding the relationship among genetics, proteomics, and the presence of and severity of symptoms related to RLS. Her current research is interested in patient's personal experiences with exercise and RLS as well as the relationship between exercise and proteomic biomarkers of RLS. She received her PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in December 2020, wherein her dissertation utilized a series of methodological approaches to comprehensively examine the relationship between physical activity and RLS in adults with MS. She plans to utilize her experience and training to develop a line of research for informing exercise prescription parameters specifically for managing symptoms of RLS.

Antara Chakravarty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. Priscilla Yang since September 2021. I am interested in virus-induced changes in membrane lipid composition of infected cells and my research focuses on developing experimental systems to interrogate the impact of lipid composition on membrane-associated RNA virus replication, using hepatitis C virus and brome mosaic virus as model systems.
During my doctoral studies, under the supervision of Prof. ALN Rao at the University of California-Riverside, I investigated capsid dynamics in multipartite bromoviruses, a group of icosahedral, plant-pathogenic RNA viruses belonging to the alphavirus-like super-family. -
Varuna Chander
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Temp - Non-Exempt, Office of Technology Licensing (OTL)BioDr. Varuna Chander is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in genomics and bioinformatics. She holds a BTech and Masters in Industrial Biotechnology, and has experience in early-stage sequencing product development for 7 years. Dr. Chander earned her PhD in Genetics and Genomics from the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine, where she was awarded the NLM Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Fellowship for three years. Her research focused on investigating the molecular causes of rare diseases and also the relationship between somatic mutations in blood and cardiovascular disease risk. Alongside her research, Dr. Chander collaborated on projects employing computational methods to examine the role of structural variation in genetic diseases. Currently, she works with Michael Snyder to study the genomic basis of complex human diseases using multi-omics and machine learning approaches.

Paulami Chatterjee
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research involves studying the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the host-pathogen interaction in pulmonary diseases. I am particularly interested in exploring transcriptomic and proteomic changes in Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma patients who develop severe allergic inflammation due to fungal hypersensitivity. Complete understanding of these interaction will help us identify significant fungal virulence factors and help us define clinically relevant targets for therapeutic use.
