My subjects of interest include molecular biology, genetics, epigenetics, developmental biology, and general life sciences. I have taught biology and molecular biology at Azim Premji University, designed and delivered guest lectures at Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts, and assisted in teaching Feminist Science Studies at NCBS.
