Kalainanghi Neelagandan

Kalainanghi Neelagandan's work experience begins in 2008 with a placement project and volunteering at the Edinburgh Cancer Research Center, University of Edinburgh. During this time, they studied the interaction between Nucleophosmin (NPM) and IRF-1, using various biochemical and molecular biology techniques. They also gained experience in cloning, protein expression, and interaction assays.

In 2009, Neelagandan became a research technician at the Edinburgh Cancer Research Center, IGMM, University of Edinburgh. Here, they focused on the interaction between IRF-1 and MDM2, utilizing techniques such as immunoprecipitation, in vitro ubiquitination, and dual luciferase assays. They also worked on MDM2-MDM4-p53 interaction studies, employing immunofluorescence, live cell imaging, and FACS analysis.

Starting in 2011, Neelagandan became a PhD fellow at the Edinburgh Cancer Research Center, University of Edinburgh. They were awarded the Lady Tata Memorial Fellowship for Leukaemia Research. Their research focused on the interaction between IRF-1 and NPM, exploring the role of NPM as a nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling protein.

Currently, Neelagandan is employed as a Senior Scientist at Strand Life Sciences, a position they started in 2019.

Kalainanghi Neelagandan's education history begins with their higher secondary education at Singaram Pillai Girls Higher Secondary School in Villivakkam, Chennai. Kalainanghi studied Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology from 1995 to 2002.

In 2002, they enrolled at Anna University, where they pursued a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) degree in Biotechnology. Kalainanghi completed their undergraduate program in 2006.

Afterward, in 2007, Neelagandan pursued a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Biotechnology at the University of Abertay Dundee. Kalainanghi successfully completed their postgraduate studies in 2008.

Following their master's degree, they engaged in further academic pursuits and obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Molecular and Clinical Medicine from the University of Edinburgh between 2011 and 2016.

In addition to their formal education, Neelagandan obtained several certifications to enhance their skill set. In 2003, they earned a certification in Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics from Sai Bioscience Research Institute in Chennai. In 2007, they acquired certification in JAVA and J2EE from Sun Microsystems in India. Later, in 2012, they obtained a CMVM Light Microscopy certification from the College of Molecular and Veterinary Science at the University of Edinburgh.
