Anshika Srivastava, PhD | The Hollenbach Lab

Postdoc Scholar

M_Neurology

Anshika obtained her Bachelor’s of Science in Zoology at University of Delhi and her PhD in Zoology at Banaras Hindu University, India. Her research primarily focuses on studying role of HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigen) variation in COVID-19 and and deciphering the interplay between random genetic drift, natural selection, and host-pathogen interaction on a local scale in the context of demographic histories of populations. Apart from doing science she is interested in spending her free time in reading, painting, singing and playing chess and table tennis.
