Rohini Subrahmanyam, PhD

Rohini Subrahmanyam completed her PhD in Biology from the National Center for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, India. During PhD, she studied neuronal defects in a rat model of autism. For postdoctoral research at Harvard University, she used human embryonic stem cells to study cortex development using brain organoids. Now back in Bangalore, she likes writing about biology, from interesting, absurd creatures to important medical discoveries.
