Mahasish Shome
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioMy research interest revolves around understanding the underlying mechanism of disease progression. I utilize multi-omics profiling to identify biomarkers relevant to the disease. I study autoantibodies, metabolomics and proteomics to decipher the connection of disease with biomarkers. For studying these, I use protein microarrays and mass spectrometry. Connecting various omics provide a holistic overview of the disease profile and can help in early diagnosis, understanding disease state and drug/vaccine effectiveness.
