Priyanka is an early-career scientist investigating autoimmune-driven fibrosis in skin and lung, focusing on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of tissue remodeling. Using in vivo models, in vitro assays, 3D explants, organoids, and patient-derived genomic data, she dissects complex disease pathways and cellular interactions. Her research centers on the meta-organismal TMA–FMO3–TMAO axis, P300-mediated transcription, and primary ciliary biology to reveal how metabolic, epigenetic, and structural programs drive fibrosis and inflammation. She also tests pharmacological interventions to identify novel therapies. She is a recipient of the Leo Foundation Award (2025-2029) and selected by the Arthritis National Research Foundation. Her long-term goal is to establish an independent program translating mechanistic insights into innovative treatments for scleroderma and related autoimmune diseases.
