Dr. Vinay Dahiya

Biochemist with expertise in protein purification, characterization and folding • Studying dynamic protein complexes, protein structure function using tools of biophysical chemistry and molecular biology • Development and validation of new assays • Autonomous designing and planning of experiments • Coordination of inter-disciplinary collaborative projects • Maintenance of spectrofluorimeters • Supervising students and practical course • Publishing and Reviewing of scientific work

• Studied thermodynamics and kinetics of protein folding (calculation of free energy of protein folding, kinetic rate constants) • Characterized folding pathway intermediates and developed refolding strategies • Characterized proteins by structural probes (fluorescence, CD spectroscopy) and enzymatic activity assays • Planned, designed, executed and managed independently my research project • Initiated and coordinated productive research collaborations
