Graduate Student
Research field:
Cardiac Biology
Sudha received a BS (2011) and MS (2014) from Kathmandu University. She worked as a lecturer in Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal. She joined LSU Health Shreveport in the Department of Cellular Biology & Anatomy as a Graduate student in August 2017.
Current Project:
Sudha is a 3rd-year graduate student in Dr. Miriyala’s lab. She currently studies ischemia-reperfusion in the cardiomyocyte-specific knock-out mice of manganese superoxide dismutase. She is looking at the mitochondrial dysfunction and change in the bioenergetics profile due to oxidative stress in the heart.

She worked with her mentor Angelica regarding intracellular calcium dysregulation that precedes muscle decline in C. elegans, which model Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. When she started grad school this fall, she was given another amazing opportunity to work in Dr. Miriyala’s lab.
