Biography

Roshni received postdoctoral training at Stanford University under the guidance of Professor Yueh-hsiu Chien and holds a PhD in Immunology from Indiana State University. In her postdoctoral research, Roshni employed multi-dimensional, high-throughput systems biology approaches to study the immunopathogenic processes underlying tuberculosis infection, food allergies, and cardiovascular disease. As an independent investigator, she aims to harness integrative systems approaches to study the underlying biology of tissue-localized immunity and address unmet clinical needs associated with tissue pathologies. Roshni is particularly interested in unconventional lymphocytes, including CD4-CD8- double-negative alpha-beta T cells, CD8+ gamma-delta T cells, and CD5+ B cells, focusing on understanding the functional consequences of their enrichment in tissue localizations in humans.
