I have a bachelor's and master's degree in biotechnology from IIT Kharagpur. I have an all India GATE rank of three. For my master's I worked with hippocampal cell lines from mice to study the effect of glucocorticoids on neuroplasticity. This work, and my coursework focused on topics like genetics, molecular (neuro)biology, microbiology, systems biology, gene expression and regulation, biochemistry, along with more applied courses like environmental biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology, transgene technology, bioprocess technology, and bioinformatics.
I have worked on academic transcripts and have written an article for a magazine discussing my research. I also have experience as a teacher as part of an NGO, where I taught biology and English. This has given me a strong sense of conceptual abstraction and restructuring based on the audiences' level of understanding. I, therefore, think I am the ideal candidate for this role.
