About me:

I completed my Bachelor’s in Biotechnology at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (India) in 2022; with a bachelor thesis on Drosophila nephrocytes and signaling pathways at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, India. I then pursued a Master’s in Neuroscience at Goethe Universität (Frankfurt, Germany) in 2024, where I explored cognitive, cellular and molecular neuroscience. For my Master Thesis, I worked on neurovascular development in the embryonic mouse cerebellum at the lab of Amparo Acker-Palmer. I joined the Larsch lab in 2024 for my PhD. My project focuses on zebrafish aggression and the regions of the brain responsible for this behavior.
