I am a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Systems Genetics, SBC, NHLBI in Bethesda, Maryland. I study the interaction between the circadian clock and sleep genetic networks, and how these interactions shape behavior and physiology. During my PhD at the Chronobiology and Behavioural Neurogenetics Laboratory, JNCASR, I studied genetic and molecular influences on the timing of behavior (chronotypes), including effects independent of the circadian clock.

I combine behavioral measurements with statistical modeling, quantitative genetics, and multi-omics analyses. During my master's studies at NISER, I worked on thermo-sensitive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels and their role in osteogenesis, using rodent models, primary bone cells, pharmacological modulators, and molecular dynamics.

I was born in Burdwan, WB, India. I went to RKMV, Purulia and RKMV, Narendrapur for schooling, then joined NISER, Bhubaneswar for an integrated MSc in Life Sciences with a focus on cell biology and bioinformatics. After my PhD from JNCASR in Bangalore, I moved to Bethesda, MD to join the NIH. Outside the lab, I enjoy photography, science fiction, and good food.
