Biography
Nishant Rai is a Research Assistant in the Department of Chemistry, King's College London. He is in the Müller Group.
In 2020, Nishant completed his Bachelor in Biomedical Science at the University of Queensland, Australia. At the end of his degree, he completed two internship projects in protein chemistry focusing on solid phase peptide synthesis of α-conotoxins.
He graduated from his Master’s in Biomedicine from Uppsala University, Sweden in 2022. During his master’s he undertook a 6-month internship project understanding the effects of serotonin on aldosterone synthesis in adrenocortical carcinoma via observing the genetic effects in the synthesis pathway. His master's thesis looked at the effects of environmental pollutants PFOS, PFOA, OMC on the proliferation and invasive ability of osteosarcoma cells and overall effect on cell circadian rhythm.
