Known information
Lakshmi Chivukula serves as a Fellow in Translational Biochemistry & Pharmacology, where she has conducted significant research on the interaction mechanisms of pathogenic yeast with nanostructured surfaces. Her studies specifically explore how these interactions affect the sterol content in yeast and their resistance to antifungal drugs. Lakshmi’s work also extends to developing and validating biochemical and cell-based high throughput screening assays. These assays are crucial for testing therapeutics designed by the AI-powered platforms ELVIS™ and ROSALYND™, developed by 1910 Genetics. She earned her Ph.D. in Nanoscience from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, equipping her with a robust foundation in her field of study.
