Abhilasha Joshi has been fascinated by science, geography, and history growing up. During her initial years of high school learning, she was certain that her goal was to find a cure for lymphoma after she lost her cousin to the disease. “Can’t we cure it? I asked the doctor. That’s where science is right now, he said”, tells Abhilasha. Left with more questions than answers, “That’s the time I wanted to become a scientist”, she adds.

NCBS recently wrapped up the NCBS RIKEN-BDR meeting. This meeting was spearheaded by Prof. Hiroshi Hamada, Senior Visiting Professor, NCBS & Ashoka Distinguished Visiting Fellow. The meeting helped foster scientific collaboration and greater appreciation for the research being done at both the centres. It further opened up new doors for more joint programs and scientific exchange. I talk to Prof. Hiroshi Hamada about his time at NCBS, his research, and his interest in furthering India-Japan scientific relations.
