About Vinod Tiwari
Vinod Tiwari is a postdoctoral researcher at The National Institutes of Health in Baltimore, Maryland, where he has worked since 2017. His research investigates the role of base excision repair defects in Alzheimer's disease and focuses on the functions of human Cockayne syndrome protein B in transcription elongation and DNA repair.
Work at National Institutes of Health
Vinod Tiwari has been a Postdoctoral Researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 2017. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, his research primarily investigates the role of base excision repair defects in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. Tiwari's work contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on how DNA repair processes may influence disease progression.
Education and Expertise
Vinod Tiwari holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Radiation Biology/Radiobiology from Delhi University, where he studied from 2011 to 2017. He also earned a Master of Science (MS) in Biochemistry from Savitribai Phule Pune University, completing his degree from 2007 to 2009. Tiwari began his academic journey with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Zoology from Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, which he completed from 2004 to 2007.
Research Focus
Tiwari's research emphasizes the molecular and cellular functions of human Cockayne syndrome protein B (CSB). His work explores the intersection of transcription elongation and DNA repair, aiming to elucidate the mechanisms by which CSB influences these critical cellular processes. This research is significant for understanding both normal cellular function and the implications of defects in these processes.
Postdoctoral Research Experience
During his postdoctoral research, Vinod Tiwari worked in the Laboratory of Molecular Gerontology under the mentorship of Dr. David M Wilson III and Dr. Vilhelm A. Bohr. This experience provided him with a strong foundation in molecular gerontology, further enhancing his expertise in the field of aging and its relationship with DNA repair mechanisms.
