My city of origin is Mumbai. I've done my MSc in Biotechnology from Sardar Patel University and joined NISER in 2011 to pursue my doctoral work with Dr. Debasmita. My thesis specialization is in the genetic and physiological analysis of Fuchs Dystrophy. There is an immense scope in the area of corneal dystrophies and it therefore has peaked my interest in it. Elaborate discussions in lab with my thesis advisor and peers have improved my professional and personal development.

After graduating in Zoology from Patna University, I have been a member of this lab since 2014. I'm currently working on the role proteostasis components in the progression of Pseudoexfoliation (PEX). The plethora of unexplored niches in PEX has bestowed the liberty to test various ideas which are seeded during our weekly group meetings. Apart from these intense project discussions, we also have our candid moments.
