Research Interest:
Anand is currently working on Viral Epitranscriptomics at Cullen lab, MGM. He is mainly focused on Molecular Retrovirology and studied APOBEC3 (A3) DNA deaminases versus Retroviruses in his PhD work at Münk lab, HHU, Düsseldorf. Besides, he investigated A3B and class IIA HDAC enzymes in urothelial carcinoma at Schulz lab, HHU and a bit of MX proteins before joining Duke.
