Dr. Dimpu Gogoi

Scientist C

ICMR- Regional Medical Research Centre, NE, Dibrugarh

About Profile

I am an immunologist interested in understanding the fine tuning of T cell response that keeps the pathogen in check without or with minimal damage to self during infection and additionally, assessing the therapeutic potential of immunoregulatory cells in reducing intestinal inflammation.

Area of Interest

Immunology, Cell biology and Microbiology
