As per my topic, my work is to majorly figure out the role of Extracellular vesicles (EV) in one of the most notorious brain cancers i.e. Glioblastoma wherein I'm mostly aiming to figure out the cellular communication through the EVs resulting in progression of major cancer hallmarks such as drug resistance & EMT.
A cursory Google search and I find that EVs were nothing but tiny membrane-bound vesicles packed with tons of bioactive cargo that, despite their obscurity, created ripples across various fields of biology subsequently piquing my interest in zeroing in on how these fairly uncomplicated, previously ignored cellular structures were now being actively sought after in prominent research studies.
Every academic has this section on their website, but I'm also going to include links to my sci comm articles and blogs on social issues, general ideas and some good stories for anyone to draw inspiration from in case they too wanted a side quest in life to contribute a splash of something meaningful in this great big void of the world wide web.

Intersections: Art x Science
"Biology on a Plate: A Taste of Evolutionary Diversity" received the Popular Choice Award in the 2024 Create-it! art competition by IndiaBioscience.
This work is a personal reflection on the elegance of evolution — with each element representing a major branch of life, arranged like a meal on a plate. At its center lies a trilobite fossil, a quiet reminder of biology’s ancient origins amidst today’s rapidly evolving science.
Grateful to all who engaged with and voted for this piece!
"Synaptic Symphony" won the NeuroArt contest organized by IBRO in April 2025 and featured as the cover image for the June 2025 issue of IBRO Neuroscience Reports.
This piece is inspired by the dynamic interplay of neurons and the beauty of brain connectivity — a subject that continues to fascinate me both scientifically and artistically. It’s an honor to have it accompany the incredible neuroscience research featured in this issue.
