Gaurav is broadly interested in understanding how things turn out the way they do. He is fascinated by the diversity of life and hopes that we will be careful about the way we manage it.

​

Gaurav was born in Mumbai, India not so (or maybe) long ago. He learnt his trade by obtaining a Masters degree in Biochemistry from India, followed by a PhD from Michigan State University in Genetics and Quantitative Biology. During his PhD, Gaurav did a lot of computational biology research but switched to doing a significant amount of bench-work during his postdoc.

​

In his spare time, Gaurav likes to read, write, watch TV and explore the outdoors, but not all at the same time. His favorite number is 42. His favorite TV series are Star Trek TNG (not the old Star Trek please), The Expanse, Game of Thrones, Rick and Morty, Family Guy and others.
