About
My current research focuses on using next-generation sequencing to characterize the neurogenetic underpinnings of psychiatric disorders including autism and schizophrenia. I will be conducting single-cell RNA sequencing and long-read sequencing to understand the alterative splicing in psychiatric disease brain. Prior to joining Gandal Lab, I was a Senior Fellow at University of Washington, Seattle where my research was on gene discovery in familial autism. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Genomics from CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi India and Master’s from Tezpur University, Assam.
