A scientist by training!

I love solving complex problems in biology in collaborative, analytical, and creative ways. Learn about my scientific research.

Ph.D in Molecular Genetics

I studied how fruit-flies determine and regulate their heterochromatic sex independently of their phenotypic sex.

Post-Doctoral Research in Telomere Biology

I studied how specialized yeast cells devoid of their normal DNA ends still managed to stay alive by deploying a fascinating strategy – HAATI.
Listen/Watch me explain all about it in the STEMterview .

Post-Doctoral Research in Lipid Droplet Biology

I studied the function and regulation of fat storage sites like ‘Lipid Droplets’ under healthy and diseased conditions.
