Well!

To introduce myself, I am Taraka Ramji presently pursuing my Integrated PhD in IISER kolkata.

I have always been fascinated by the enigma of life. I naturally took up Biotechnology as my undergraduate specialization, as I believed it would bring me closer to finding answers to the challenging questions of biology.The progression of technology and the effects it has had on civilization has always fascinated me, and generated within me a profound interest in the sciences. I believe that there are still many new and exciting discoveries waiting to be found, hidden within nature, and of beneficial use to humans and the environment. I want to be a part of the next discovery.I have been a good learner in school as well as in college. In school, I was taught to be inquisitive, and to probe beyond the obvious solutions, to gain a deeper understanding of concepts. Biology was my favorite subject as I was fortunate to have teachers who motivated me by drawing parallels between worlds of exciting discoveries and their applications to everyday life. I realized that a comprehensive understanding of science is possible only when scientific theories are supported by practical experiments. I have a flair for research and my persistence and patience helped me to understand the activity of two plant compounds (Piperine and Hydroxychavicol). I gained a lot of domain knowledge from scientific analysis and discussions with my advisor and peers. I found the whole experience truly enriching and I resolved to pursue a career in research. I enjoy being a team-worker as well as a leader. I developed my team-skills by undertaking several group projects during my undergraduate course work. I learnt the art of leadership when I was in the organizing committee for the technical symposia Biomical’08,’09,’10 at my college.
