Bio:

After earning my undergraduate degree in Biotechnology from India, I pursued my passion for research by entering into a doctoral program at University of California, Riverside. My current research is focused on understanding CRISPR-Cas systems using state-of-the-art computational tools, and multi-scale classical and enhanced molecular dynamics approaches. I intend to understand and ameliorate the functioning by providing the groundwork for protein engineering strategies for this intriguing system that has revolutionized genome-editing technology, and gives hope to millions of people for a better day for them and their loved ones.
