I completed my master's degree in Zoology at the University of Lucknow and joined Dr. Arpan Parichha’s lab at CSIR-IGIB in January 2024 as his first student. My scientific interests lie in exploring the molecular complexities of brain development and related diseases. Currently, I am working on a project titled “Effect of Maternal High-Fat Diet on Fetal Hippocampus Development” using a mouse model. But my life isn’t limited to the lab! I also serve as the President of the AcSIR-IGIB Science Club and the Vice-Captain of the IGIB-A cricket team, bringing energy and passion to both science and the field. Whether I’m cooking something delicious, smashing sixes on the pitch, or exploring new destinations, I always make time for the things that fuel my passion outside the lab.

I did my master’s from University of Hyderabad where I found my intrigue being piqued by Stem cell therapy regulated by epigenetic controlling. I developed a desire to learn iPSC and organoid culture. With my current curiosity driven by the sheer diversity and complexity of the brain, I am eager to decipher the intricate world of neurodevelopmental disorders, aiming to help alleviate those suffering from them. Beyond the bench, I find solace and joy in creative pursuits. Singing and painting allow me to express myself and find balance amidst the demands of research. I cherish spending time with friends, fostering meaningful connections that enrich my life.

Research Scholar (ACSIR Ph.D. candidate)

I completed my Master’s in Molecular and Human Genetics from BHU, Varanasi. During my master's, I became fascinated by omics techniques, particularly single-cell transcriptomics and proteomics. I aspire to uncover how the proteomic landscape changes in neurodevelopmental disorders, exploring the intricate processes that shape our nervous system. Outside the lab, I enjoy traveling, reading, and listening to music, which provide inspiration and balance to my scientific pursuits. 

Collaborative Post Doctoral Fellow between TIFR-Mumbai & CSIR IGIB

I completed my PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and am currently working as a collaborative Postdoctoral Fellow between TIFR Mumbai and CSIR IGIB. My research interests lie in stem cell biology and neurodevelopment. I aim to investigate how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk mutations alter the normal trajectory of human brain development using stem cell–derived organoid models. 

M.Sc. Thesis Dissertation Student 

I am an M.Sc. Life Sciences student at the Central University of Gujarat and a thesis researcher at CSIR-IGIB in Dr. Arpan Parichha’s lab, studying how maternal high-fat diet influences fetal hippocampal development and glial-neuron interactions. Beyond research, I actively promote environmental awareness through science and art with UNIVART and AIAP/IAA India, an official partner of UNESCO.

M.Sc. Thesis Dissertation Student 

I'm a master's student in Biomedical Science at the University of Delhi, currently working on a dissertation project focused on neurodevelopmental complexities. My research involves observing progenitor cells during embryonic stages in a project titled "Effect of Maternal High-Fat Diet on Fetal Hippocampal Development", aiming to understand how maternal nutrition influences early brain development. Driven by a deep curiosity about the developing brain, I am eager to decipher the mechanisms that shape neurodevelopment and contribute to neurological disorders. Alongside academic pursuits and research, travelling and spending quality time with my loved ones bring fresh perspectives, inspiration, and a sense of balance to my life.

M.Sc. Thesis Dissertation Student 

I am a master’s student at Jamia Millia Islamia University, currently conducting my dissertation under Dr. Arpan Parichha. My research focuses on understanding how brain development is altered in autism spectrum disorder, with particular emphasis on hippocampal development. I am interested in finding the underlying molecular mechanisms driving these changes.Beyond my academic work, I enjoy binge-watching series and movies as a way to unwind. I also like playing video games such as Call of Duty, IGI, and Counter-Strike in my free time.
