From early childhood, I am curious about the natural world and always tried to understand the reason behind everything I see in the natural world. When I started learning the natural sciences, the most fascinating fields that I identified were biochemistry and molecular biology as they can answer most of the questions in the natural world from a molecular level. 

I am working in Dr. Rybenkov’s lab, and I am currently working on identifying the molecular systems that govern chromosome segregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 

After graduation, I would like to use the knowledge and skills that I gained for the betterment of humankind by joining a pharmaceutical company.
