Ritwija Bhattacharjee
PhD Student
Dr. Nesmelov's Research Lab (Physics)
I am pursuing a doctorate in Biophysics, and my research focuses on human Cardiac Myosin, a protein that converts chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy, which produces force and movement. It is best known as the molecular motor that drives the contraction of the heart
