Gayani Ranasinghe

Biochemistry graduate student

I am a Biochemistry graduate student from Sri Lanka. I completed a special degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from University of Peradeniya. Thereafter I worked as a research assistant in the same university for a period of three years. Following that I was selected as a graduate student in IU, giving me the opportunity to go higher up in the ladder of biochemistry. Initially I was interested in doing research in cancer field as I have eyewitnessed people suffering from cancers. Later on, my interest shifted to work in Tuli’s lab, and it may have been triggered by the experience in my undergraduate which I studied about the application of virus like particles in drug delivery. Apart from Science and academic work, I like to spend time on travelling, dancing and hanging around with my family.
