Binod G C, PhD

Binod G C, PhD joined Dr. Markus Müschen’s laboratory at Yale University as a postdoctoral associate in June 2025. He earned his M.Sc. in Medical Microbiology from Tribhuvan University, Nepal, in 2017, and completed his Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Toledo, Ohio, in May 2025. During his doctoral studies, Binod elucidated that Gfi1 promotes hematopoietic cell survival by repressing PU.1, which upregulates pro-survival genes Hemgn and Bcl-xL. At Yale, in Dr. Müschen’s laboratory, Dr. Binod G C’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating B-cell development and survival, with an emphasis on negative selection and the identification of therapeutic targets in B-cell malignancies. He also blogs at www.thesciencenotes.com, writing science education materials for students and educators.
