Joyanta Modak
I completed my B.Sc. (Honours) and M.Sc. in microbiology from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh and then worked as a research officer for four years at the Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF), Bangladesh. Then I came to Australia to pursue a doctoral degree. I was awarded PhD in Microbiology from Monash University, Australia in 2017. My PhD research was highly interdisciplinary, and I was trained at the interface of microbiology, biochemistry and structural biology. After PhD, I completed a one-year post-doc at the viral evolution laboratory at Monash University. In 2018, I joined Tania De Koning-Ward’s lab at Deakin University as a Research fellow. My current research aim is to dissect the mechanism by which a protein complex called RhopH accesses the host cell and assembles at the infected erythrocyte membrane.
