Hi! I’m a biotechnologist from India with a background in immunotherapy research, where I worked on CAR-T cell manufacturing at the Centre for Stem Cell Research in Vellore. That experience taught me a lot about lab techniques, but just as importantly, it showed me the value of patience and grit.

Now, I’m focused on skin regeneration, studying how skin repairs itself and how we might encourage scarless healing. This project has the potential to lead to real solutions for people dealing with injuries and scarring, which is what drew me to translational research in the first place—seeing the work in the lab actually make a difference in real life.

Outside the lab, I’m pretty low-key. I enjoy sunsets by the ocean, hiking (even if it’s a bit of a struggle), and the occasional Harry Potter marathon.
