Pallav Kosuri

Pallav Kosuri is a Fulbright Scholar and a Ph.D. candidate at the department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. He graduated with a Masters of Science degree in Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and did his thesis research at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. His current work at the Fernandez Lab employs extremely precise AFM technology to investigate physiologically important enzymatic systems on a single-molecule scale. The AFM also enables a direct measurement of force, a fact that he is exploring in the context of biological systems such as cell signaling and viral cell invasion.

In addition to research, he has spent part of his life as a photographer. Some photos can be seen on his website: pallav.se
