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 focuses on understanding the structure-function relationships in glucose transporters (GLUTs) and their implications for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes. By investigating how these proteins work at the molecular level, Jyoti aims to contribute to drug discovery efforts targeting these critical transporters. She is particularly interested in exploring how high-throughput protein expression and crystallization techniques can be applied to better understand carbohydrate-related proteins and their therapeutic potential. Blending her expertise in chemistry, biology, and computational tools, Jyoti is driven by a passion for solving complex scientific challenges. Outside the lab, she is a dedicated science communicator who loves making complex concepts approachable and engaging. Through writing and sharing her knowledge, she hopes to inspire curiosity and excitement about science. Jyoti’s goal is to connect groundbreaking discoveries with real-world impact, encouraging others to see the power and beauty of science in action.

Osmosis- Importance in Chemistry, Biology

by
Osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a high-concentration area to a low-concentration area. Osmosis happens across the cellular membrane to protect a cell from becoming flaccid (not enough water) or turgid (too much water). What … Read more

Inductive Effect Types, Uses, Stability

by
Inductive Effect

The inductive effect is an electronic effect induced by the polarization of σ- bonds in a molecule or ion. In most cases, this is because of a disparity in electronegativity between the atoms forming the two ends of the bond. When the electronegativity … Read more
