About Sunita Keshari
Sunita Keshari is a researcher in Department of Life Sciences, National Central University, Taiwan. She has done Ph.D. in Life Sciences from National Central University, Taiwan (R.O.C.). Her research is focused on infectious diseases and molecular biology with a special emphasis on molecular signalling in uremic pruritus in chronic kidney disease and skin inflammatory disorders in response to chronic radiation, and development of pre/pro/post biotic drugs to combat these disorders. As part of team and lead, she had worked in multiple collaboration projects like acne vaccines and prebiotics as antibiotic adjuvants against multiple skin disorders. In her previous research career, she had worked as Junior Research Fellow in Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, an autonomous research institute of Department of Biotechnology, Government of India and gained expertise in breast cancer epigenetics. She also performed principal work in cholera project, as a research fellow in Regional Medical Research Center (ICMR), Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. She had published more than 10 peer-reviewed research articles in high impact journals and conference papers. She had attended multiple international conferences and awarded for poster and oral talks. She is an active reviewer in MDPI Journals. She has done her Master of Science degree (M.Sc.) in Biotechnology with a specialization in Cell and Molecular biology from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Tamil Nadu, India. For her excellence in Masters, she was honoured with merit scholarship award. Additionally, she was awarded for summer research fellowship from Indian academy of science during her Master’s degree. Prior to Master’s, she had received two gold medals from Odisha University of Science and Technology (OUAT), Odisha, India for excelling in Bachelor’s degree. She has inherent compassion for research and wants to succeed in future endeavours as an independent researcher. Some of the questions she want to address in the future are, to understand the dual behavior of genes in healthy and infectious diseases and to unravel the mechanism of disease progression for the development of new therapies in pursuit to achieve better human health.
