Biography

I grew up in New Delhi, India. At the age of three, I was diagnosed with asthma, and it was then that I developed a deep fascination with how medicines could so easily relieve my symptoms. This fascination led me to the University of Cambridge for an integrated Master's degree in Chemistry, which I could use as a tool to contribute to the development of drugs that could help so many people in need around the world. Thanks to the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, I am one step closer to this goal as I will pursue my PhD in synthesising drugs that could potentially be used to treat cancers resistant to traditional chemotherapy. I am highly grateful to become a part of this community of diverse individuals with one common goal - the betterment of mankind. I look forward to enriching discussions and projects with fellow Gates Cambridge Scholars, which will not only improve my perspective on the wider world but will also have an incredible impact on humanity.
