I come from a humble Bengali family, originally from Kolkata. Thanks to dad's job, I grew up in different parts of India (Assam, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai, Chennai and Karnataka), which has endowed me with a broad perspective and appreciation of the cultural diversity of India. In a few words, I would describe myself as a simple, honest, independent, ambitious & rational individual. Friends who have known me closely describe me as a friendly and compassionate person. After finishing my B.E. in Biotechnology from Bangalore, I came to US and completed my PhD. in Genetics from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. Currently, I'm a Senior Scientist in a Biotechnology company in Boston & I intend to pursue bio-medical research as my career. I hope to meet individuals with broad and liberal outlook, well-educated, with passion and ability to achieve their own goals/career aspirations in life, but above everything, a great and compassionate human being whom I can respect, care... more and share life experiences ahead.
