Manjosh Uppal
My name is Manjosh Uppal and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at UBC. I am majoring in Biochemistry and have been given a CBR Summer Scholarship for 2019.
Similar to the rest of the Rossi lab, the focus of my project is on the process of muscle tissue regeneration. More specifically, I work with Dr. Theret on the signalling pathways involved in the response of fibro/adipogenic precursor cells (FAPs) to the inflammatory environment. For instance, TGF-Activated Kinase 1 (TAK1), which is a key signalling transducer in FAPs and may be involved in the regulation of other immune cells.
Outside of the lab, I love to spend my time with friends and family. When I am not cramming for my next biochemistry test, I enjoy playing sports such as hockey, basketball and volleyball.
