Anusha Bhatt

Anusha graduated with a BS-MS dual degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Trivandrum, India. At Dartmouth, she joined the Amodeo lab where she studies the role of histone variants in developmental decision making. She is particularly interested in elucidating how the varying nuclear import and incorporation of different histone variants affect or alter the transcription rates and pace the zygotic genome activation. Anusha uses the early drosophila development, along with genetics and microscopy to address these questions. Apart from the lab, Anusha enjoys kayaking, ice-skating, hiking, or anything outdoors.
