Sunitha Chari, PhD

Sunitha earned her PhD in Biochemistry from Boston University where she investigated the molecular interactions between low-density lipoprotein receptor and its ligands. She completed her post doctoral training in structural biology and biochemistry at McGill University where she investigated the structure-function relationship of a protein complex involved in cellular transport. After her post-doc she transitioned to scientific communication. She has written on medical and scientific topics for pharma, and non-profit. Sunitha joined Drug Discovery News in November 2021 as Assistant Science Editor and enjoys the combination of intellectual rigour and creative flair her everyday work demands.
