Biology is the search for the Chemistry that Works. --- Prof. R. J. P. Williams

About Me

Working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford Centre for Integrative Systems Biology/ Department of Biochemistry, Oxford. In general, I am interested in Systems Biology, Synthetic Biology, Bifurcation Analysis and Stochastic Processes. More specifically, I am interested in mathematical modeling (deterministic/stochastic) of signal transduction and transcriptional gene regulatory networks.
