Professional Narrative

Dr. Kulkarni works on discovering variation in non-coding regions of the genome and their relevance to human health and disease.

She is particularly interested in the role of common genetic variation in HIV disease. Here, she tries to decipher why the clinical outcome of HIV-1 infection is highly variable, i.e. why a small number of individuals with HIV does not develop typical clinical symptoms of the disease and is less likely to transmit HIV to others.

  • Diseases: HIV disease, Crohn’s disease
  • Gene regulation, non-coding genome regions and resulting disease modulation

Dr. Kulkarni has over 8 years of expertise in the field of immunogenetics, specifically gene regulation, and works on the development of new methodologies.
