Hello, I am Rhea Janwadkar, I am graduating from Boston University with a specialization in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics, and I have developed a strong interest in translational research and the biotechnology industry. Through my academic training and research experiences, I have gained hands-on exposure to wet-lab molecular biology techniques and clinical research workflows. My background includes DNA cloning, PCR, gel electrophoresis, mammalian cell transfection, histological analysis, and clinical data collection across both basic science and clinical research settings.
