Meet Our Team
Christian Neureuter
Lab Manager/Research Assistant
Email: cneureut(at)buffalo.edu
I received my Masters of Science in Physics with a specialization in theory and optics from Friedrich Alexander Universitat - Erlangen and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light in Erlangen, Germany. I work on image processing, data analysis, and other technical tasks across various projects in the Banerjee Lab.

Dr. Richoo Davis
Postdoctoral Associate
Email: richoobi(at)buffalo.edu
I received a PhD in cellular and molecular biology from the University at Buffalo. I’m interested in role of protein condensates in cellular processes such as transcription and stress granule formation and their aberrant assemblies in disease states. Go Bills!

Dr. Anurag Singh
Postdoctoral Associate
Email: singh26(at)buffalo.edu
I received a PhD in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India with my thesis work focused on studying the aggregation kinetics, optical, and electrical properties of intrinsically disordered peptides. In Banerjee lab, I am interested in understanding the physical factors playing decisive role in modulating and tuning the material and transport properties of biomolecular condensates.

Dr. Sukanya Srinivasan
Postdoctoral Associate
Email: ss682(at)buffalo.edu
I earned my Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University, studying RNA helicases under Dr. Eckhard Jankowsky. I later researched AP-2 alpha adaptins in endolysosomal trafficking with Dr. Peter Nelson at the University of Kentucky. In the Banerjee lab, I study protein and RNA condensates in neurodegenerative diseases. Using my background in biochemistry and neurobiology, I aim to develop therapies targeting mechanistic pathways for these ailments.

I am a PhD student in the Department of Biology. I study deleterious phase transitions of bio-molecular condensates relevant to neurodegenerative disorders in the Department of Physics.
Anushka Supakar
Graduate Student
Email: asupakar(at)buffalo.edu
I am a PhD Student in Department of Biological Sciences, working in the Department of Physics. My work focuses on the nuclear condensation of transcription factors and the role of phase separation in transcription regulation at specific DNA sites.
Meet Raval
Graduate Student
Email: meetjayd(at)buffalo.edu
I hold a BSc degree in Physics with a minor in Biotechnology from Shiv Nadar University, India. My passion lies in the application of physics to unravel the mysteries of biological systems. In the Banerjee lab, my research focuses on exploring the material properties of biomolecular condensates. Beyond my academic pursuits, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of F1 race weekends as a source of personal enjoyment.
