About me:
I completed my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Biotechnology at VIT University, after which I had the opportunity to work on a research project at Newcastle University where I spent 6 months exploring biomarkers to predict glucocorticoid resistance in Paediatric T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). This hands-on experience led me to pursue an MSc in Cancer at University College London, where I deepened my understanding of cancer biology.
I have previously worked in the UCL CAR-T Cell Programme, where I worked on the development of dual antigen CAR T cells in Multiple Myeloma using In-Vivo Models.
Outside of my professional life, I'm passionate about history, which fuels my love for exploring different cultures and time periods. I’m also an avid sports enthusiast, with a particular fondness for football and cricket. When I’m not on the field, you’ll find me travelling, discovering new places and experiences that broaden my horizons.
We study how AMPK, the master regulator of metabolism, intersects with and thereby, shapes biological processes beyond typical metabolic diseases. Our focus is particularly on how AMPK’s regulation of energy homeostasis alters the outcomes of immune responses, tumour growth and the aging trajectory.
