Meet the Team
Hi! I'm Yash
I'm curious about understanding molecular, cellular, and organismal regulation. I have a background in biotechnology from Jaihind College and The Institute of Science, Mumbai.
For my project, I'll focus on the fascinating discipline of interorgan communication in wound healing from a broader perspective.
When not in the lab, I enjoy contemplating life's big questions, listening to music, reading books, and sipping on a cup of tea. I'm an artist at heart and a scientist by choice, always looking for inspiration and new perspectives.

Hi! I'm Soumyadip
With a background in Molecular Biology from Visva-Bharati University, West Bengal, I have a profound interest in evolutionary biology, genetics, and the development of complex traits. My specific focus lies in RNA-Protein and Protein-Protein interactions and their regulatory role in immune systems.
My research here will center on exploring the significance of water-channel proteins in Drosophila immunity.
​
Beyond the lab, I am an avid fan of science fiction novels, and love doing digital illutration.

Hi! I'm Janani
I have a B.Sc. (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences from Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Stem Cell Technology and Regenerative Medicine at MIRM, MAHE, Bengaluru.
My thesis will focus on the effects of injury on immunity in Drosophila, studying immune cells and key pathways after thoracic injury. Also, I am passionate about studying neurological diseases using animal models and exploring new diagnostics and treatments in oncology.
Outside the lab, I am an enthusiastic dancer who can also express feelings through art, and I have an interest in sports.
