About Dr. Maitreyi Das

Associate Professor Maitreyi Das received her Ph.D. in Biosciences in 2004 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, under the guidance of Prof. P. J. Bhat. She then moved to Helsinki, Finland to study cell cycle in fission yeast in the lab of Prof. Tomi Makela. She continued her study of fission yeast in the lab of Prof. Fulvia Verde at the University of Miami where she studied cell shape control. She established her independent lab at the University of Tennessee in 2013 where she investigated the fundamental mechanisms that promote cytokinesis and polarized cell growth in the model system S. pombe (fission yeast). She was promoted to Associate Professor, with tenure, in 2020. In 2022, she moved her lab to the Biology department at Boston College as Associate Professor. When not in the lab she loves to spend time with her husband and son. She likes to travel and explore different cuisines, and enjoys good music.
