Positions

Overview

  • Dr. Kundu received his master's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT-KGP) in India followed by his research training at the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Biomedical Engineering Department. He subsequently earned his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from IIT-KGP. In his postdoctoral training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Dr. Kundu studied epigenetic, epitranscriptomic, and metabolic regulations in kidney cancer. After his training, Dr. Kundu joined as a staff researcher in the Department of Urology at UAB and currently, he is serving the position of an instructor in the department.
