SARS-CoV-2 uses a second secret doorway into cells
Scientists have found a second doorway, called neuropilin-1, that the novel coronavirus uses to invade human cells.
Rajesh Khanna
Rajesh’s research focuses on disrupting pathological protein-protein interactions with biologics and small molecules, testing their activity, examining protein interaction signatures, and regulating protein networks to modulate ion channel activity in neurodegenerative diseases (chronic pain, migraine, and neurofibromatosis). Rajesh earned his PhD in Physiology from the University of Toronto, where he also obtained his MS in Pharmacology and a BS in Toxicology. Prior to joining the University of Arizona, he conducted post-doctoral fellowships at UCLA in Physiology and Molecular Biology, and at the Toronto Western Research Institute in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
