Biography
Gargi Prasad Saradadevi holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (2017-2023) from BITS-Pilani Hyderabad campus, where her research focused on the epigenetic regulation of ribosomal RNA and genomic stability in Arabidopsis models. She subsequently worked at Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, Bengaluru (2023-2025), gaining experience in genome editing using CRISPR-Cas technology. At SKAN Research Trust, she has transitioned from plant models to neuroscience-oriented research. Her research applies molecular biology and genome editing approaches to understand Parkinson’s disease.
