About Gayathri
I started my PhD in Thurecht group in 2016 and my research interests lie in the field of cancer nano medicine and bio-orthogonal chemistry. My research group has been amazing so far and will definitely continue to be so. I love the team spirit that keeps everyone motivated and really enjoy the outreach activities done by the group outside the research. In my free time I enjoy watching movies as well as drawing.
