I am currently pursuing a Master of Science (Research) at the Indian Institute of Science. I am fascinated by the plasticity of biological systems and the ways in which they communicate and adapt across different scales. This curiosity has led me towards biomedical research, where currently I am being trained in cancer systems biology. I am open to PhD opportunities that combine molecular biology and systems approach in cancer research.

Science Communication
I am enthusiastic about communicating science to a wider audience. As a science writer intern at IISc Office of Communication, I have authored the following articles:
- The hidden cost of doing science
- How cancer cells adapt while moving across tissues
- Action and reaction
- 4D printing for artificial blood vessels
