About

A neurobiologist by passion and profession, I am a bench scientist who chases the toughest experiments and comes alive at the edge of technical challenge.

I serve as an Instructor at MGH/HMS with a PhD in Neuroscience from IIT. In my PhD, I targeted epileptic pathways via repurposed drugs in mouse models. A piece of my PhD work was on the cover of Experimental Neurology.

Currently, I test drugs to target protein interactions and inflammation, hell-bent on finding better therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and ALS.
