Swapna K.

I completed my PhD in Neuro-Biophysics from the National Institute of Mental Health & Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru. My academic journey began with a postgraduate degree in Zoology from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, which laid a strong interest in biology and molecular mechanisms underlying neurobiology. I secured the 89th rank in the CSIR-UGC NET-JRF, a milestone that confirmed my commitment to neurobiology research. Beyond research, I have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring undergraduate students for 6 years and experience in Biology NEET Coaching, which has enriched my scientific perspective and honed my communication. and leadership skills. During graduation, I earned an NCC ‘C’ certificate. Before stepping into the lab, I qualified Karnataka and Kerala State Teaching aptitude Tests (KSET, KTET and SET). I am an innovative thinker with a strong ability to apply my analytical skills, scientific writing, data conversion, and problem-solving. I am a highly personable, self-motivated, hard-working and diligent individual committed to continuous learning.
