About
Dr. Patil is a Research Assistant Professor working within the laboratory of Dr. Deepak Shukla. Dr. Patil's research is centered on investigating herpesvirus infection models, both in vitro and in vivo, with a particular focus on elucidating the role of optineurin in regulating viral infections. He employs cutting-edge Optn KD/KO tools, encompassing human-origin neurons, human corneal epithelial cells, immune cells (THP1), HeLa cells, as well as primary cell lines from mice (BMDMs, MEFS, Neuronal stem cells). Dr. Patil is dedicated to addressing fundamental inquiries concerning the intrinsic and innate immune host defense mechanisms modulated by OPTN in response to HSV infection.
