My name is Dhanuush, and I am from Chennai, India. I graduated from Indian Institute of Science Education Research, Mohali with a BS-MS dual degree majoring in Biological Sciences. My Master’s thesis is titled Investigating tumor resistance in newts which was done at the Lund Stem Cell Center under the supervision of Dr. Nicholas Leigh. Alongside functional assays, my project involved extensive genomics study to understand the tumors resistance property of newts. My other projects in India and Europe focused majorly on vertebrate development and regeneration. Apart from this, I am also interested in metabolism in rare disease condition and epigenetic mechanisms governing the cell fate. Besides academics, I am interested in Science Education and Science Communication.

As a preLighter, I am to cover a wide range of prePrints, not just restricting to my subject of interest. If you would like to connect, please feel free to reach out!
