Malli received his PhD from Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY in 2012. While at Clarkson, his research focus was developing electrochemical biosensors for environmental and clinical applications. Later he did his postdoc at Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH. While at Dartmouth his research focus was monitoring neurotransmitters in real-time using enzymatic biosensors during the evolution of stroke in vivo. His current research in Venton lab focuses on understanding the spontaneous, transient adenosine release in multiple brain regions of rodent brain during the evolution of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Outside of chemistry, Malli enjoys playing cricket, badminton, hiking and any outdoor activities.
