Bio

Personal Profile:

With a post graduate specialization in Biomedical Genetics, I have been associated with Human Genetics for 15 years. My areas of interest and expertise include cancer cytogenetics, prenatal genetic testing , molecular cytogenetic techniques and Molecular genetics. I have also been associated with academic teaching for undergraduate and post graduate students of Human Genetics and skillfully interphase my clinical knowledge in teaching and research. I had completed my doctoral degree in the field of understanding genetic mechanisms involved in the expression of endometriosis. I have completed a small term research projects in the field of molecular genetics of male infertility and endometriosis and won a best poster award for the male infertility project. My experience in clinical genetics at Apollo Hospitals has offered an added advantage to my confidence and knowledge in the field of cytogenetics.
