Every member of our founding team is a thought leader who has more than a decade of experience in academic research and team building. Each one brings a unique set of skills and expertise to our organization.
I am a postdoctoral fellow at Dr. Jeff Lichtman lab at Harvard. I am interested in uncovering the rules that govern the assembly of neural circuits and the wiring specificity in developing brain with a combination of serial section 3D electron microscopy, connectomics and light microscopy methods. In the long-run, I aim to gain key insights into how wiring specificity is achieved during neural circuit assembly in normal brain and which of the important aspects of this process is affected in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. I did my PhD in Developmental Cell Biology from Dr. K.VijayRaghavan lab at NCBS-TIFR, Bangalore and Dr. Benny Shilo lab at Weizmann Institute, Israel. I am passionate about teaching cutting edge concepts in Life Sciences to those who lack the opportunities.
I work for a biotech company that develops immunotherapies for cancer patients. I am passionate about helping students to pursue their higher education dreams who lack the opportunities otherwise. I have about 9 years experience in building teams. Previously, I worked as a Fly Facility(research core facility) Manager at Bangalore Life Science Cluster. I have Masters in Biotechnology from Bangalore University and Masters in Molecular and Cell Biology from Brandeis University and MBA degree from SMU. I like to do gardening and carpentry.
