Subhashini Muhandiram

PhD student, Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tartu, Estonia

Subhashini Muhandiram graduated from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.  She has a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Science and completed two research projects to fulfill the requirements for her Bachelor’s thesis in Niigata University, Japan on molecular level effects of glutathione supplementation in human colorectal cancer cells and on morphological characterization of mouse dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. Later, she completed Master of Philosophy degree in Molecular and Cancer Biology and worked  on establishing a low cost molecular diagnostic assay for early screening of human papillomavirus infection (HPV) among Sri Lankan females giving emphasis on less and non-invasive sampling methods. During this time she developed her interest in biomarker screening for diagnostic assays, cell biology and reproductive physiology.
Under the supervision of Prof Alireza Fazeli she is involved in designing and performing research studies related to elucidating molecular mechanism of extracellular vesicle mediated signal transduction.
