Moitrayee Bhattacharyya's lab studies the molecular mechanisms of kinase signaling, with a particular focus on learning, memory, and neuropathological conditions. She earned her PhD in Computational Biophysics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, utilizing molecular dynamics simulations and graph theory to investigate allosteric communication in protein complexes including RNA and DNA interactions. Following her transition to experimental biology, she conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, supported by the Human Frontier Science Program Long Term Fellowship, where she applied structural biology, single-molecule microscopy, and native mass spectrometry to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase critical to learning and memory processes. The lab adopts an integrative approach to understand the complexities of cellular signaling, merging both experimental and computational techniques to explore significant molecular dynamics.
