Sudip Timilsina joined the Spring Lab in 2020 during his second year in the PhD program. His primary research focuses on the development of a multi-targeted photoimmunotherapy platform to address the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer, particularly high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). This involves the use of proteomics, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy to identify and evaluate cell surface proteins as potential PIT targets in various conventional and primary tumor models.
Sudip also serves as the lab’s compliance liaison, managing SciShield (formerly Bioraft) to ensure adherence to institutional, biosafety, and OSHA regulations. He oversees safety training compliance, project and inventory updates, hazardous material barcoding, and the proper handling and disposal of biohazard and chemical waste.
