Short presentation
I graduated from a B.Tech in Biotechnology from SASTRA University, India in 2009. I did my Masters by Research in Cancer Biology at Imperial College London before spending one year at the EMBL Mouse Biology Unit in Rome and 6 months at the IMBA in Vienna. I started my PhD in the Helin group in March 2013. I enjoy quizzing, football, backpacking,cooking Indian food and music.
