Ramen Saha

Person: Assoc. Prof.

As the principal investigator of our laboratory, I get to wear several hats: a scientist, a teacher, a manager, an accountant, an administrator etc. My favorite role though is being the 'truth seeker', where I get to pursue enigmatic neurobiological processes with my hardworking research team. Also, I am dad to an equally curious teenager who keeps me on my toes.
