Sumitra Shankar

Science is my fascination. This has fueled my journey right from my Bachelors program, through the Masters and finally my PhD in Biotechnology (Kerala University, India). Over the years, I have donned myriad garbs of a student (I qualified CSIR -Council for Scientific and Industrial Research exam in 2008), researcher, lab-mate and senior, and have benefited from timely guidance, elaborate reading, and unexpected insights. The key to success has always been in grasping the bigger picture. I am passionate about passing on this  experience through teaching. I believe that through this, my own learning and understanding skills can also be enhanced.
