Education:
B.Sc. (Microbiology) - Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College, Mumbai

Joined JNCASR as an Integrated Ph.D. student of the School of Biological Science in 2020, and as the first graduate student of Neurodevelopment Lab since July 2022.

I come from the "city that never sleeps", now a resident of "Namma Bengaluru". I started my Ph.D. Journey trying to understand the development of the brain. It kind of amazes me that how a single cell can eventually develop into an entire organism and I would like to delve into the different mechanisms that regulate these processes.
When I'm not doing science, I enjoy playing cricket and watching movies which keep me alive in the journey. I also like reading detective books, because I believe that a Ph.D. student and a detective have no differences, as research entails solving nature's mysteries!!
