Jyoti Bashyal

Jyoti Bashyal is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at the University of New Mexico, USA. Her research explores how proteins change their shape and behavior in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. She is interested in how small molecular changes can push a protein away from its healthy role and toward disease, and what those changes reveal about how neurons stay healthy. Her work combines protein biochemistry, chemical biology, and computational tools, building on her earlier research in organic and computational chemistry in Nepal. Outside the lab, she is a dedicated science communicator who loves making complex concepts approachable and engaging. Through writing and teaching, she hopes to spark curiosity about science in students everywhere, especially those who have not yet had the chance to see research up close. Her goal is to connect fundamental discoveries about proteins to real-world understanding of disease and help others see the power and beauty of science in action.
