Nisha Kamath obtained her Ph.D. in Pathology/Immunology from Case Western Reserve University under the mentorship of Dr. Kenneth Matreyek. Her thesis project involved using deep mutational scanning and targeted phenotypic assays to understand how variants within the calcium-binding STIM1 cEF-hand domain affect its structure and function. She is currently pursuing a short-term postdoc within the same lab, applying phenotypic assays she developed during her doctoral training to understand the effect of protein variants on genes related to epilepsy.
