“I joined HoMeCell Lab in the Department of Biological Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar. The diverse course work offered at the department enhanced my understanding of the cancer biology and molecular biology.”
“Dr. Umashankar Singh, my PhD advisor, have been very supportive and lab environment was full of inspiration. I graduated in December 2020 and joined Applied Tumor Genomics Program at Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland for postdoctoral research. I am studying the role of transposable elements in gene expression regulation in cancers.”
