About Me

I am a Masters in Biochemistry and PhD in related discipline and at present working as an Instructor in the Department of Neuroscience at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA. I had an extensive research and teaching experience of more than 15 years in the field of cell and developmental biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, genetics and molecular biology. I have tremendously enjoyed my journey as an educator and hope to continue with my teaching endeavors in future. Although, my first exposure to classroom teaching was when I served as a Guest Lecturer in NIPER, Hajipur, India (2007-2010) during my PhD, but my voyage as a teacher stems way back into my Undergraduate days where I used to tutor high school students for Biology and Chemistry. In NIPER I taught courses on Molecular Biology, Macromolecules, Separation Techniques and Genomics and Proteomics to students enrolled in Masters of Pharmacy. In 2010 after submitting my PhD thesis I was hired as a Lecturer in the same institute till I moved to USA in 2011 and joined as postdoctoral fellow in UT Southwestern Medical Center. To fulfil my never-ending passion for teaching I got myself involved in teaching and mentoring STARS and SURF students who are visiting UT Southwestern Medical Center in summer. Most recently, I got engaged in teaching advanced level undergraduate courses as an Adjunct Faculty in Southern Methodist University, Dallas, USA: Bio of the Brain in Fall 2021 and Metabolism in Spring 2022.
