My graduate research was primarily focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms to carcinogenesis with special emphasis on cell cycle dys-regulation and chromosomal aberrations on embryonic fibroblasts.After my graduation I moved on to USA where I did my post doctoral research from Dept. of Biochemistry, Tufts School of Medicine, Boston, USA. My research was on Polyoma Middle T Antigen mediated signaling in cancer.I moved from USA to India and joined BITS-Pilani on July,2107 with my DST-SERB Young Scientist Grant and is presently working here as an Associate Professor in Biological Sciences Dept.
To me, “teaching is an art” and I aspire to be that kind of a teacher who endow with an impact on the development of one’s intellect and goals. Based on my 3 years of teaching experience at BITS, Pilani, I felt that teaching “basic sciences” to students motivated to study Engineering is a challenge. And I gleefully accept it.
