I am a scientist and an artist interested in understanding how signalling networks and their crosstalk determine cell fate and behaviour in health and disease. I am extremely passionate about translating scientific discoveries into therapeutic strategies to advance global health equity. I completed my PhD in Dr. Arjun Guha's lab at inStem, where I collaborated with Genentech and identified a niche-dependent Notch–Wnt signalling axis that maintains bronchiolar stem cell (club cell) identity in the adult lung (PMID: 39182223). I am currently a postdoc at inStem in Prof. Vemula's lab, where I am testing the capacity of metabolic analogues to contribute to lung repair. 

Beyond research, I love art, basketball, badminton, trekking, travelling, cycling and watching movies. I am also a member of the on-campus theatre troupe, StageCraft, which brings science, emotion, humour and all shades of life to wider audiences through stage plays.
