Biography

Anup Kumar Ram is a Postdoctoral fellow at Umeå University, focusing on the identification and molecular function of small open reading frame (sORF) encoded microproteins in the context of host-pathogen interactions. His research primarily investigates how infections influence non-AUG translation, contributing to the understanding of eukaryotic translation initiation and its implications in cellular physiology. Anup completed his PhD at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) in India, where his studies concentrated on the biology of upstream ORFs (uORF) and their initiation mechanisms. His background includes exploring the functions of specific mutants in yeast to elucidate the cellular impact caused by alterations in translation initiation.
