Biography

Aushaq Malla is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Genetics at Yale School of Medicine. He completed his PhD in Molecular Cell Biology at Manipal University in India, focusing on the role of higher inositol phosphate kinases in mammalian male germ cell development. His postdoctoral work investigates the molecular mechanisms by which DOT1L, a histone H3 lysine 79 methyltransferase, influences germ cell differentiation and embryonic development. He employs mouse spermatogenic cells and embryonic stem cells to address critical questions regarding sperm epigenome reprogramming and the impact of epigenetic factors, especially H3K79 methylation, on sperm development and early embryonic development in disease contexts.
