Biography
Geethakumari joined the College of Health and Life Sciences (CHLS) as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Kabir Biswas in 2020. She completed her master's degree atAmrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, India, and a Master of Philosophy degree at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, India.
Shethen earned her PhD from Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, where her work focused on identifying the signaling pathways modulated due to dengue virus infection of microvascular endothelial cells.
