Indian-Origin researcher, Urbashi Basu, from the National Centre for Biological Sciences at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, has been named one of Princeton University’s 2024 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellows.
Basu will join the department of molecular biology, where her work will focus on understanding how circadian clock regulation influences immune functions and impacts the body's resistance to infection across the day-night cycle.
“I am excited to be selected as one of the Princeton Presidential Postdoc fellows,” Basu said, expressing enthusiasm about the opportunity to continue her work in a multidisciplinary academic environment.
The prestigious Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellows program, now in its fifth year, supports early-career scholars who are expected to make significant contributions to their fields. The fellowship provides financial support for up to two years, allowing researchers to deepen their disciplinary expertise and engage with new interdisciplinary ideas.
Basu’s research aims to address critical challenges in immunology, with potential implications for improving health outcomes in under-resourced communities globally.
Basu holds a Ph.D. in biology, an M.Sc. in biotechnology, and a B.Sc. in microbiology from the University of Calcutta, India.
