Hello there! I’m Pradyumna Harlapur, a PhD student in the Cancer Systems Biology Lab at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. My research focuses on studying the network of interactions between genes driving cellular decision-making and uncovering the underlying design principles that govern these interactions within gene regulatory networks (GRNs). When not getting lost in the labyrinth of my code trying to untangle these biological puzzles, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, observing the tiny wonders of the insect world, ricing my system, and going on treks.
