🙏Namaste!🙏

Tryambak is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Internal Medicine, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA.

His primary research focuses on unraveling the role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast cancer progression. This comprehensive study encompasses cell line investigations, in vivo, and clinical research involving patients undergoing surgical interventions. By integrating basic science with clinical applications, he is part of a multidisciplinary team that aims to uncover novel therapeutic targets in Triple-negative breast cancer, which is a more aggressive form of breast cancer. His research is now revolving around nuclear receptors and their cross-talk. This collaborative effort includes contributions from basic scientists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists specializing in medical, surgical, and laboratory disciplines.

His academic journey began with an integrated B.Sc. B.Ed. program at the Regional Institute of Education, Bhubaneswar. This program laid the foundation for both scientific knowledge and educational methodologies. Following this, he pursued an MSc. in Biotechnology from South Asian University (SAU), New Delhi. His master’s dissertation evaluated the efficacy of a maturation inhibitor against HIV-1 Subtype C, a strain prevalent in South Asia and Africa. This research not only honed his skills in molecular biology but also instilled a deep interest in translational research. During his time at SAU, he was actively involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities, participating in various university and inter-university events, which enriched his academic and personal development. Following this, Tryambak attended the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, for a PhD in Biochemistry. His passion for biomedical research led him to his current position as a postdoc at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Beyond the lab, Tryambak is passionate about science communication and strives to make science accessible and engaging for all. As a blogger, he shares his thoughts and discoveries through various forms of writing, including micro-fiction, poetry, and contemplative essays. In 2020, he embarked on the #365DaysOfScience initiative, where he committed to sharing a science-related tweet every day for 365 consecutive days. This project allowed him to explore and communicate a wide array of scientific topics, from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge research. In 2021, he expanded his efforts with the #TWiS (This Week in Science) section on my blog, providing detailed discussions on recent scientific papers and developments. In 2022, he challenged himself further by reading and tweeting about a scientific paper daily, fostering continuous learning and engagement with the latest research.

Outside of his professional and academic pursuits, Tryambak enjoys exploring the intersections of science and art, reflecting on the broader implications of scientific discoveries, and engaging with the community and writing. His blog serves as a platform for sharing his journey, insights, and creative expressions. He takes immense pride in my roots and his mother tongue, Bhojpuri. He is committed to promoting science communication in vernacular languages, making scientific knowledge more accessible to non-English speaking communities. By bridging the gap between advanced scientific research and regional languages, he hopes to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of science among diverse audiences.

Tryambak invites you to explore his work, join the conversation, and connect with him as we navigate the fascinating world of science together. May the mitochondria be with you! 🧬🔬
