In their words

I am a physics graduate from India, interested in using physics as a bridge to understanding neurodegeneration. I started asking how changes at the molecular level can eventually become something we observe in a tissue or an organism. During my undergraduate research training in this lab, I explored this question through tissue preparation, staining, microscopy, and data analysis, while learning from everyone in the lab. This experience made me want to understand biology more deeply and explore what lies beyond what we can see. I hope to build on my quantitative background while continuing to develop my skills in biological research and image analysis.
