I did my doctoral research at the Laboratory of Cell Biology, IAR, Gandhinagar. It was a great journey that taught me some of the important lessons that I will always cherish in my life. At present, I am working at Yale University as a Postdoctoral Researcher. My current research interest is to explore the consequences of gene polymorphism in human diseases. I am sure the discipline and dedication that I learnt at IAR will help me in future endeavours.
