I began my formal scientific training as a chemist and later moved into the field of NMR during my master’s thesis at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. I am currently completing my doctorate with Prof. Stephen Grzesiek, where I am applying my solution NMR knowledge to help elucidate the dynamics and function of biomolecules like the Abl kinase, which presents a particularly intriguing project due to its medical relevance, the absence of information on the solution conformation, its considerable size and the expression in a eukaryotic system. My work particularly relates to examining protein structure and folding.
