About
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.

Neuron-glia balance in the brain
A perfect balance of neuronal and glial population is essential for the proper function of the brain. However, how is this precise control in the temporal regulation of formation of these cells comes about, is still not fully understood.
Dendritic complexity and formation of Circuits
I am studying how the development of dendritic arbors and its synaptic connections develop in the evolutionarily recent part of the cerebral cortex - layer 2/3
3D Genome of the Neocortex and the Hippocampus
I am looking at how the two most important parts of the cerebral cortex - hippocampus and neocortex, arrive from a common pool of progenitors but eventually diverge into different structures
