Journey of Exploration of Biology

In the quest to understand ‘Life’ at large I decided to venture on a molecular travel almost two-decade ago. I am delighted that nature supported this curiosity with 3 dimensional opportunities in the form of structured academic expeditions, translational industrial pursuits, and community driven science outreach.

The expedition into education and research has given me a tiny space in the ‘Universe’ to unlock the mysterious code of our ‘Genes’ a bit.  Notably, it has equipped me with a balance to reflect on the needs of the ever-changing global ecosystem.

 At this point in time, there has been a pushing desire for me to embark on a new dimension to explore the exciting entrepreneurial world. I wish to share the snippets of this voyage to anyone who wish to understand the nuances of the process through my new ‘Start-up’. I hope this instills a sense of empowerment to all. Explore to know further.
