“I am among those who think science has great beauty”, - Marie Curie I am leading a team focused on developing sustainable bio-based technologies and products using synthetic biology. Demonstrating POC for novel products, de-risking technologies, and scientific support for transition of technologies to pilot and manufacturing are key area of work. Communication with leadership on progress of projects, people management, and driving collaborations are other responsibilities of my function. I am learning everyday as a part of the R & D strategic team for conceptualization of novel products in food, animal nutrition, personal care, and biomaterials space Other than work, I enjoy outdoor time with my kids, friends, and colleagues
