ABOUT ME

Currently I am a postdoc at Harvard Medical School studying learning and memory in fruit flies. I got my Phd student in behavioral genetics at bowling green state university, OH. I characterized hunting behavior in dogs, and looked for genes that may play an important role in this instinctive trait.
a lil info about of my research can be found here -(http://www.bgsu.edu/offices/mc/monitor/09-07-10/page85044.html).
In my free time I Love travelling. I am originally from India and have been travelling ever since I was a kid.whenever I get some time, I drive to the East coast or down to Florida.
