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. I am also dad to an equally curious 12 year old who keeps me on my toes.

Ramen's promotion to Associate Professorship

News: January 01, 2021

Ramen is now an Associate Professor (with tenure). Thanks and gratitude to every Saha lab member –past and present– for their hard work and contribution towards this success.
