Raju is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory. He received his Bachelor’s and Master's degree in Bioscience and Bioinformatics from Tezpur University, Assam, India in 2015. He received his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in 2023. His Ph.D. work was focused to understand the mechanisms of RGG-motif containing proteins in regulating RNA granule disassembly and translation control. Raju enjoys playing guitar, ukulele, listening to music, experiencing new cultures, trying new cuisines and travelling. He likes to play cricket, badminton and kho-kho. He plans to set up his own research laboratory in future studying RNA biology and Neurodegeneration.
