My goal is to establish in vivo human models as a translational paradigm to provide mechanistic insights and to test the surrogate clinical efficacy of novel drugs, devices, and wellness products in healthy volunteers and patients.
I obtained my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Derek Gilroy in the Centre for Clinical Pharmacology, Division of Medicine. For my Ph.D., I investigated the mechanisms of resolution of acute inflammation in healthy humans using novel in vivo models.
Before starting my Ph.D., I pursued MRes in Clinical and Experimental Medicine from UCL. I did my undergraduate in medicine (MBBS) from Grant Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Bombay.
I currently work as a translational medicine consultant and help early-stage biotechs to identify relevant disease biomarkers, set up invitro, ex vivo, and in vivo translational assays, and develop experimental medicine programs including proof of concept clinical trials.
