I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology from the University of Delhi and a Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine from the Central University of Punjab. Currently, I am a Graduate student in the Vemula Lab, where my work focuses on developing innovative drug delivery and drug discovery strategies to improve the long-term survival of vascularized composite allografts.

I joined the lab in August 2025 following my Master’s in Biochemistry from Karnatak University, Dharwad, where I secured the first rank. My research focuses on designing novel immunosuppressants that prioritize safety and long-term graft survival. I love the 'bridge' where biology and chemistry meet; it’s where the most exciting translational outcomes happen!

Beyond the lab: I love the ragas and melodies of Carnatic music and I like to read novels.

I completed BS in Biochemistry from Sri Venkateswara College (Delhi University) and MS in Biotechnology from AIIMS Delhi.

At present, I am pursuing PhD work in Vemula's lab where I am exploring the effect of Urolithin analogues to enhance the barrier integrity in lungs and to prevent the leakage caused due to lung injury.

Hobbies: Doodling, painting and running.

Hi- I am Subhashini Pandey, 2nd year PhD Scholar in Praveen’s Lab. My research is focused on developing a library of non-viral delivery system in erythroleukemic cell lines. Also, I am working on Pesticide project since 2016 and now work focuses on developing a cleansing catalytic system for insecticides used at home. 

In my leisure time, I like to dance and play badminton. Look forward to have a good talk over a cup of tea since I am a Chai lover.

Hi - I am a collaborative student of Praveen Kumar Vemula and Dasaradhi Palakodeti at inStem. I completed my B.Tech in Biotechnology from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. Following my graduation, I joined Dr.Vijaya Gopal’s lab in Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology(CCMB), Hyderabad, India. In CCMB, I worked on validating the efficacy and specificity of fusion protein based siRNA delivery vectors which could cross the blood brain barrier.
