About

Powered by stories, spices, and walks

I am a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering and will be working on dynamic and adaptive breast cancer models. My research will focus on developing 3D in vitro models that replicate the complexity of the breast cancer tumor microenvironment, enabling a deeper understanding of tumor progression and responses to treatment.

I completed my Master’s in Biomedical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad, I bring hands-on experience with hydrogels, material characterisation, rheology, 3D printing, and stem cell culture, previously applied to bone and cartilage tissue engineering. This background will guide my approach to designing functional models and integrating TME cells to study cell-matrix interactions

Outside the lab, I enjoy reading fiction, cooking, strength training, and spending time walking, talking, and being in nature.
