We are very happy that Dr Basabi Bagchi has joined the lab as a Postdoctoral fellow. For her PhD at Ashoka University, Basabi asked several interesting questions about host-pathogen interactions using flour beetles. During a short postdoctoral stint at the University of Montana, she explored cytoplasmic incompatibility in insects. In our lab, Basabi plan to figure out the mechanisms responsible for the shortening of development time in our long-term laboratory- evolved flour beetle populations. Exciting times ahead!
