Along with my academics , I am a consultant at Penn Biotech Group, a Graduate Research Assistant in a Neurology lab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and part of Penn Club Tennis. In my free time I love to play sports, read new books and try new restaurants. Fun fact about me - I have grown up living in 4 countries and 8 cities!

Hello everyone, I am a second year in the Masters in Biotechnology program, pursuing the biomedical technologies track! I received my bachelors degree at UC San Diego, with a major in Human Biology. I am currently a Graduate Research Assistant with the Xing/Lin lab at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where our main focus is RNA modifications in human health and disease. Outside of school and lab, I am a huge baseball and soccer fan/player and a classically trained violinist. Feel free to contact me for anything and I am excited to meet everyone in BSA for this upcoming year!
Sreeshaa Ganthiraam - Secretary
I am a second year masters of Biotechnology student with a major in Pharmaceuticals at Penn. I did my bachelors degree at Rajalakshmi Engineering College back in India. Apart from this, actively being a part of the PBG as a consultant for over a year now has given me the opportunity to enhance my skills. Furthermore my year long position in the Penn Live Arts as a Sales agent has given me the opportunity to manage sales, and provided an opportunity to interact with diverse individuals. I am a trained dancer and love to dance, play basketball and listen to music in my free time. Most interesting of all got the opportunity to act in a short film as well! Feel free to contact me for any queries and I'm super excited to create a safe and comfortable space for all.
