With a keen interest in Pharmacology and Genomics, I am simply a Life Science devotee, who wants to make waves in the bench-to-bedside process of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Apart from research; my roles in Media & PR and organizing Start-up events, have taught me much-needed skills: team-work, leadership, communication and finance know-how. As a self-motivated person who enjoys computational analysis more than bench-work, I am seeking an exciting opportunity in Clinical Research Design/Pharmacovigilance and I am sure that my inter-disciplinary mindset can be a valuable asset.
