Hi, I am a graduate student and my thesis project mainly focusses on understanding the resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in human lung adenocarcinoma by undertaking an integrative genomics and functional genomics approach. We have performed whole exome sequencing on patient samples, developed resistant cell line models and performed cell line based transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and various array based screenings that lead us to the potential candidates involved in the resistant mechanisms. I have received my Bachelors degree in microbiology from Ramnarain Ruia College, Mumbai and masters in microbiology from St. Xaviers’s College, Mumbai. Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy expressing myself through various forms of art such as painting, sculpting, and calligraphy. I also have a keen interest in classic old movies, folk music, mythological stories, exploring good food, and continuous learning.
