Postdoctoral Fellow<\/p>\n
Email: anuragc@clemson.edu<\/p>\n
Dr. Anurag Chaturvedi is a Postdoctoral fellow in the Mackay-Anholt lab at Clemson University\u2019s Center for Human Genetics (CHG). He obtained his PhD (2017) from KU Leuven, Belgium with a focus on \u201cEvolutionary genomics\u201d where he discovered many facets of contemporary evolution in space and time using population genomics. Subsequently, he pursued a Postdoctoral position (2017-2021) at the Universit\u00e9 de Lausanne, where his focus shifted towards studying epigenetic mechanisms governing nutrient transport in Mycorrhizal fungi. Subsequently, he received the prestigious Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Individual Research Fellowship from the EU H2020 program to work at the School of Biosciences, the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
His research endeavors encompass a diverse range of model organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates, and microorganisms. By harnessing the power of multi-omics data, his current research focuses on discovering the molecular underpinning of toxic chemicals using Precision Toxicogenetics and Toxicogenomics. Furthermore, he is passionate about teaching and employing educational best practices, to adopt a project-based approach that promotes student success.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest challenges in toxicological sciences is the lack of fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanistic framework that can promote evidence-based chemical testing. Dr. Chaturvedi\u2019s research at CHG is focused on the discovery of molecular biomarkers for both natural and manmade Chemicals using next-generation high-throughput sequencing and metabolomics. Specifically, he is working at the forefront of the development of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) by integrating obtained multidimensional data to decipher adverse outcome pathways using Drosophila <\/em>as a model system. CHG hosts excellent research facilities including the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel<\/em> (DGRP) which serves as a starting point for disentangling:<\/p>\n Chaturvedi A<\/strong>, Shankar V, Simkhada B., Lyman R.
