  I evaluated the global and local disease burden of different neurological diseases - from which I identified stroke as a research focus for my engagement with Dozee. I reviewed existing clinical literature regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, anatomy and physiology, clinical outcomes and existing solutions for ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. I also assessed the prevention and treatment gaps in the healthcare system, with a special focus on India.

  I explored the linkages between the context-dependence of reproductive choices and the resulting fitness.

• Research Scholar

  • Aug 2014 - Sep 2020

  My thesis was a broad investigation of the behavioural and evolutionary responses of a generalist insect species (the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum) to novel short-term and longer-term changes in its environment. Projects worked on (focal species - the red flour beetle, a generalist species) -1. The role of olfaction in dietary niche preference.2. The impact of spatio-temporal habitat heterogeneity in resources on larval resource use and its resulting fitness implications.3. The ecological causes and fitness consequences of maladaptive oviposition preference.4. The chemical mechanisms underlying negative density-dependent regulation of population growth rates.5. Quantification of population vital rate changes during adaptation to novel environments. 6. The role of founding phenotypic variation on population growth rates during adaptation to a novel environment.

  I helped the characterize the spatio-temporal kinetics of Pvf2 expression in the Drosophila ring gland during larval development. Pvf2 is thought to be a Drosophila homologue of human PDGF (regulators of cell growth and division), which was required for the age-related changes in midgut intestinal stem cells and progenitor cell populations.
