Siddharth Shukla, PhD

Siddharth Shukla, PhD has a diverse work experience spanning over a decade. Siddharth currently holds the position of Senior Scientist at Alltrna since October 2021.

Before that, Siddharth worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder from January 2017 to October 2021. During this time, they focused on studying RNA quality control pathways and their role in cancer and bone marrow failure. Siddharth employed various biochemistry and cell biology techniques, such as RNA sequencing, RT-qPCR, and fluorescence microscopy, to investigate RNA processing and function in human cells. Siddharth also utilized RNA interference and CRISPR editing to understand the role of cellular enzymes in RNA processing in human diseases. Siddharth also worked as a Research Assistant at the same university from August 2012 to December 2016, where they investigated RNA degradation and RNA-protein complex assembly in spinal muscular atrophy and dyskeratosis congenita.

In 2011, Siddharth worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at The University of Arizona. Additionally, they gained research experience as a Summer Research Intern at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 2010, where they studied the role of DEAD-box proteins in stress granule formation in yeast. Siddharth also worked as a Summer Research Intern at The University of Arizona in 2009, where they synthesized peptides to target opioid receptors in humans.

Overall, Siddharth Shukla, PhD has extensive experience in RNA biology, cellular pathways, and protein regulation, with a strong focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases and developing potential therapeutic strategies.

Siddharth Shukla, PhD's education history begins in 2006 at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, where they pursued an Integrated Master of Science degree in Chemistry. This program lasted until 2011. Siddharth then continued their studies at the University of Arizona from 2011 to 2012, where they pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Molecular & Cellular Biology. Lastly, from 2012 to 2016, Siddharth Shukla, PhD attended the University of Colorado Boulder, where they earned another PhD degree, this time in Biochemistry.
