Shruti received her MSc from KIIT School of Biotechnology, KIIT University, India and her PhD from the Bose Institute, India. Her keen interest lies in unraveling the complexities of cancer development and identifying novel therapeutic targets. Her active research interest revolves around the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and its pivotal role in driving lung cancer metastasis. With a prime focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic progression, she is interested in deciphering how alterations in ARID1A contribute to tumor dissemination and therapeutic resistance in lung cancer. Beyond the lab, she enjoys non-fiction reads and exploring the dynamic streets of NYC.
