I am a HFSP postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Andrew Oates at EPFL, Lausanne and I did my PhD with Prof. Stephan Grill at MPI-CBG, Dresden. My major research interest is in understanding biophysical mechanisms by which (a)symmetries are established in the three principal body axes of embryos. I have extensive experience in working with both C. elegans and zebrafish model systems and my expertise lies in performing advanced microscopy and developing custom image analysis algorithms.
