Who I am and what I do
Biography:
I did my Bachelors and Masters of Technology in Biotechnology with a focus on plant tissue culture and plant genomics. Following this, I interned in Novozymes, an enzymes development company and also worked in healthcare market research for a year. However, my interest in the ethics of biological research directed me towards the Erasmus Mundus Master of Bioethics in 2015. During this course I was introduced to the prevailing issues of biomedical ethics and developed a curiosity in the dual use and/or misuse of technology. I am now pursuing my PhD in the ethical and societal aspects of a gene regulation knowledge commons, using RRI strategies.
