Senior Research Fellow
E-mail ID: aa.doke@ncl.res.in
I hold a Master's degree from Savitribai Phule Pune University. Currently I am aiming to investigate the influence of environmental conditions on the folding and aggregation energy landscape of TDP-43. My research interests span protein structures and animal behavior, and I'm intrigued by the cellular mechanisms of vision. Beyond academia, I thrive on exploring the world, and seeking the thrill of adventure sports.
Sonal Rajendra More
Senior Research Fellow

I have completed my master's from Shivaji University, Kolhapur in Environmental Biotechnology, and my bachelor's degree from K.T.H.M College, Nashik, in Biotechnology. I am working on site-specific studies of misfolding and aggregation of aggregation-prone protein, TDP-43 using fluorescence-based methods. I intend to understand the molecular basics of unfolding, misfolding, oligomerization, and aggregation. Apart from research, I love to spend time dancing and reading. I enjoy socializing.

I have done my master's in Zoology from Shivaji University, Kolhapur. Currently, I am working on precursor conformations of protein TDP-43 involved in misfolding and aggregation; which is a pathology in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. I am also keen to see what will be the effect of disease-related mutations on the folding of the TDP-43 protein and its aggregation.
Apart from Science, stories excite me! So, I appreciate literature, movies, plays, and web series of different genres! And l feel the music is one of the best gift given by the nature!

I completed my post-graduation in Zoology (Molecular Biology) from Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati. I am interested in understanding the role of RBM45 in misfolding and aggregation which is involved in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), it also shows co-aggregation with other ALS-involved proteins like TDP43 and FUS. Therefore, I am also studying the nature of co-aggregation of RBM45 with TDP43.
Besides Science, I love to play basketball. As the world has beautiful places, I love to explore them. Sometimes colours give me peace therefore I like to play with them on white paper.
