Summary
Sriram Krishnan is a postdoctoral researcher with a decade of interdisciplinary experience at the interface of molecular/cellular biology and quantitative biophysics, currently probing GPCR conformational dynamics with single-molecule and live-cell approaches. He brings deep hands-on expertise in genome editing, advanced fluorescence and super-resolution microscopy, microfluidics, NGS analysis, and complementary chemical skills (organic synthesis, NMR, HPLC, LC-MS), enabling end-to-end experimental workflows from molecule to mechanism. His prior work dissecting bacterial DNA replication and phage replication factories demonstrates a knack for combining microfluidics, single-particle tracking, and rigorous quantitative models to test competing cell-cycle hypotheses. Earlier in his career he spent two years as a software engineer, giving him practical software design, web development, and scripting fluency that strengthens his data analysis and experimental automation. Based in Chennai and trained at TU Delft, he pairs a strong experimental toolkit with an appetite for learning languages and cross-disciplinary methods, making him effective at translating complex biological questions into tractable, high-resolution experiments.
