I am spearheading a translational research initiative focused on developing circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) based biomarkers derived from minimally invasive biospecimens, with the primary objective of early cancer detection and monitoring. I am a molecular oncologist and I earned my PhD from Assam University in India, where I focused on understanding how oral and esophageal cancers develop at the molecular level.
After completing my doctoral studies successfully, I embarked on a postdoctoral research position at the International Agency for Research on Cancer-World Health Organization (IARC-WHO), France, in 2015. During this tenure, my research aimed to identify DNA methylome alterations linked to esophageal cancer within high-incidence populations worldwide.
I am passionate about advancing our understanding of cancer aetiology and making meaningful contributions to the development of advanced biomarkers for theranostics.
