About


I am a Research Scholar at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research pursuing a PhD in Developmental Neuroscience. My work focuses on understanding the underpinnings of forebrain development. I am studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the production of neurons and glia (support cells for neurons) in the brain and what affects their circuitry and function.

I believe in an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems, which is why my work encompasses the analysis of big genomic datasets using computational tools, molecular biology techniques, tissue histology, tissue culture work and optical microscopy.

I am passionate about technology and solving problems.  I believe the incorporation of technology in the field of Biomedicine is inevitable and working at the intersection of both fields is the aim of my career.

Beyond solving scientific problems, I am passionate about communicating science to the masses. My training at TIFR and as a theatre artist in college has equipped me with academic writing and verbal communication skills. I am interested in elevating the Indian community by providing useful evidence-backed scientific information and making people realise its importance in their lives.
