I am a PhD student registered at Ashoka University, while being affiliated to CTCR, Pune for the past four years. Trained as Masters in Biotechnology and Developmental biologist, I switched to Translational Cancer study when I joined TME lab. Outside lab, I indulge in baking desserts with elaborate recipes, recreational badminton and swimming and travelling to serene mountains.

During the January to April 2023 semester, I actively contributed to the 'Immune cell subtyping in TNBC in an Indian cohort' project. My role involved significant participation in immune cell characterization and quantification, utilizing QuPath software to analyze multiplexed immunofluorescence images, enhancing our understanding of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Analyzing 100 triple-negative breast cancer cases, our study focuses on trichrome staining to assess tissue collagen. The aim is to unveil connections between collagen distribution and tumor features, treatment response, and survival. Merging patient-derived tissue insights with clinical data, we strive to reveal genuine prognostic potential in ECM alterations.

I earned a master's degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. My research journey began with a compelling master’s thesis in Dr. Madhura’s lab, where I delved into cancer biology and immunology. Subsequently, I furthered my exploration as a project assistant, passionately pursuing these scientific realms.

I'm Bhavesh Vasave, a 4th-year BSMS student at IISER Pune, currently a research intern. Lab work takes me away from things yet yields joy with positive results. No results sometimes leave me conflicted, but I embrace it all. Life is a celebration—HUZZAH :)) I cherish dancing, painting, gardening, cats, and sleep.

I'm a committed 4th-year BSMS student at IISER Pune, specializing in Biology. Immersing myself in Dr. Madhura Kulkarni's lab for my Summer Project has been intellectually enriching. Beyond academics, my unmatched passion for dancing adds vibrancy to my journey. Table tennis, trekking, and music further diversify my multifaceted interests.

I pursued my Master's degree at Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, and earned my Bachelor's degree from St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad. Currently, my research in the lab focuses on investigating the synergistic interplay between HER2 and YAP in HER2-positive breast cancer. Beyond the lab, my creative pursuits include painting, doodling, and practicing origami.

I'm a 4th-year BSMS student at IISER Pune, majoring in Biology with a Chemistry minor. Currently, a Semester Project participant in this lab, I find solace in dance, enjoy sports, and love spontaneous adventures with friends. The mere sight of a cat or dog fills my heart with pure, heartwarming magic.

As a Master's thesis student, my focus centers on multiplex immunofluorescence in the BRCA project. Outside academia, I immerse myself in culinary pursuits, indulge in artistic expression, find joy in dancing, and engage in meaningful conversations, enriching my life with diverse experiences beyond the academic realm.
