Hello, I am Pratikhya Acharya

Master's Dissertation, Neuroscience Researcher
IISER Berhampur | CCMB Hyderabad

I am a BS-MS student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Berhampur, currently conducting my master's thesis research at the Lab of Axon Regeneration and Growth at CCMB Hyderabad. My research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying neural repair and axon regeneration, particularly in the context of spinal cord injury (SCI).

My journey into neuroscience was shaped by a deep curiosity about brain function, from cognitive processing to neurodevelopmental disorders. This passion has led me to explore human-specific neuronal models, synaptic plasticity, and the intricate interplay of genetics and environment in shaping neural circuits.
