Ayushi successfully defended her master's thesis! Congratulations Ayushi!

My project was titled "Simultaneous Targeting of TIRAP and RIPK2: An Effective Approach for the Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases." This one-year journey has been full of ups and downs and challenges. It was a transformative and great learning experience. Apart from the hands-on work, the regular scientific discussions in the lab were incredibly helpful in boosting my knowledge and broadening my perspective. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor for their constant guidance and support throughout this journey. I also want to extend my gratitude to my labmates for creating a friendly and supportive lab environment. This project has been an enriching learning journey that has significantly contributed to my personal and academic growth.
