Postdoctoral Fellows

Dr. Chinmaya Patel
I am passionate to contribute in Dr. Ren’s innovative research on Polycomb group proteins and chromatin organization through LLPS. I am eager to help advance our understanding of how LLPS regulates genes and its role in disease. I am honest and kind. In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton, cricket, and tennis, and I love discovering new places to go trekking.
PhD Students

Most Shova Banu
I am a PhD student with a background in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a Master’s in Molecular Biotechnology. I was drawn to Dr. Ren’s lab due to my passion for molecular biology, biotechnology, and genetics. The lab’s pioneering research into chromatin dynamics within condensates, particularly through advanced single-molecule imaging, captured my interest.

Ahmed Saif
My current research focuses on the fascinating field of epigenetics, specifically the mechanisms and regulations that organize the human genome and control gene expression. When I am not in the lab, you’ll often find me exploring mountains, experiencing cultures through travel and cooking, playing game or getting lost in the stories of movies and anime.
