Thesis Research Summary:

It is, but natural to develop an unprecedented bias for the place in which you are born and raised. I cherish spending twenty-four wonderful years of my life in a city like Delhi that is popular for its vibrant and fast life. Growing up in a capital that is the hub of all the political, economic and social happenings along with a cosmopolitan cultural atmosphere helps one keep pace with the times. I consider myself fortunate in getting the scope to complete my previous education from a city that is home to many premier world class institutions and provides the apt environment required to excel in life.

Annual vacations have given me the opportunity to explore exotic places, mingle with people from intriguing backgrounds and cultures, thereby making me conscious of the rich cultural heritage for which India is notorious. Apart from traveling, I turn to reading, music and painting to rejuvenate and unwind myself.

My initial foray into Biological Sciences was kindled by the intricacies involved in making a living organism function as a complete entity in order to survive and maintain its identity in a niche. Incurable diseases, unknown pathogens, unforeseen ailments were and are the biggest problems being encountered by mankind. The advent of the 21st century has witnessed the birth of many deadly diseases and will continue to envisage the rise of deadlier diseases, thus, posing a constant challenge, especially to developing countries like India. Being able to implement the knowledge gained in resolving health related issues of my own country is the ultimate goal I look forward to achieving in the future. Eventually, I aim at establishing myself in the upcoming drug industry.
