Ajit Johnson Nirmal is a cancer geneticist. He has also campaigned to raise awareness on tech addiction and net neutrality.[1][2]
Education
[edit]Born in Vellore, Johnson graduated with a bachelor's degree in biotechnology at Karunya University. Johnson graduated from University College London in 2011 and worked at the Indian Institute of Science. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in cancer genetics and genomics from the University of Edinburgh[3] and performed his post-doctoral work at Harvard Medical School and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.[4]
Career
[edit]Research
[edit]Johnson and colleagues developed a cell based gene therapy for haemophilia patients at the National Cancer Centre Singapore.[5][6] Johnson developed ImSig, a network-based computational framework that facilitates the characterization of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment.[7] Johnson's work involves multi-dimensional characterization (genetic, transcriptional, spatial and biophysical attributes) of the tumor ecosystem [8] and understanding the differences in molecular signature of immune cells [9] across tumours.
