I am a reading fanatic, a sucker for perfectly imaged embryos, handwritten notes, postcards and all things blue. Recently, found myself to be an irresponsible promiser, blogger-turned-researcher and a strong advocate for women in STEM.

Ganguly
As a Junior Research Scholar in DBS, TIFR I worked on the role of Par3/Bazooka in junction remodelling after fusion of the epidermal flanks during dorsal closure in Drosophila. I am a fun loving person in general though people around me say that I look very sombre and serious. I am famous to my labmates for being the die heart music lover, apart from that am fond of reading and travelling.

Dr. Parul Sood
My academic journey of 7+ yrs and diverse interactions with graduates, undergraduates and school students helped me understand some fundamental gaps in education. I wished I had known better about creativity, critical thinking, emotional well being all this time. Despite these skills being so essential and fundamental, we are never exposed to and trained in them. With a mission to fill this gap, I co-founded Tramseb; an edtech startup that aims to revolutionize skill based education with games and gamified content. I am a scientist by training and an educationist at heart. My research has spanned from finding biomarkers of psychological stress to finding how cargo are transported in the neurons. Presently, I am an entrepreneur hustling to establish my company.
