About the Faculty

I joined BITS-Pilani as a regular faculty on 25th March, 2017. Initially I was working here as an Assistant Professor (Contract) from July,2013 till April, 2017.I did my PhD from Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI, Kolkata) under Jadavpur University. My graduate research was primarily focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms to carcinogenesis with special emphasis on cell cycle dys-regulation and chromosomal aberrations on embryonic fibroblasts.After my graduation I moved on to USA where I did my post doctoral research from Dept. of Biochemistry, Tufts School of Medicine, Boston, USA. My research was on Polyoma Middle T Antigen mediated signaling in cancer.I moved from USA to India and joined BITS-Pilani on July,2107 with my DST-SERB Young Scientist Grant and is presently working here as an Associate Professor in Biological Sciences Dept.

To me, “teaching is an art” and I aspire to be that kind of a teacher who endow with an impact on the development of one’s intellect and goals. Based on my 3 years of teaching experience at BITS, Pilani, I felt that teaching “basic sciences” to students motivated to study Engineering is a challenge. And I gleefully accept it.
