About me:
I am a postdoctoral fellow in Alexis Barr’s group currently working on regulators of quiescence. I have previously worked as an independently funded postdoc at National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi, India trying to decipher different functions of BLM helicase. I did my PhD at Tata Memorial Centre- ACTREC, India where I worked on identifying novel molecular mechanisms mediating cancer resistance. Outside the lab, I like to explore new places and engage in craft making.
We aim to understand the molecular mechanisms that control how cells enter and exit the cell cycle, combining microscopy with mathematical modelling to investigate these processes in healthy and cancerous cells.
