I grew up in India and came to the University of Iowa for my doctoral studies in Human Nutrition. My past research experience includes lipid biosynthesis in intestinal epithelial cells and redox regulation of macrophage and neutrophil responses in the lung. I joined the Ryan Lab in Fall of 2022 where I am investigating the regulation of airway basal cell renewal and differentiation.

I enjoy being around trees, books and scientists.

Fun Fact:

Spends way too much money on fountain pens and ink.
