Extra curricular pursuits of a self-styled rock star
Hello,
Welcome to my studio on the net. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research involves developing and validating new technologies for improving intracellular drug and gene delivery. I have been an active member of the Drug Delivery team at Dr. Mark Prausnitz’s lab where our focus is to use fundamental science to develop novel medical devices and solutions. I am in my final year of Ph.D. and working on my thesis at the moment.
My Ph.D. has been an exciting journey. My project was nothing more than a concept that my advisor and I hit upon during one of our numerous brain storming sessions. Thanks to his belief in me (and the rock star that I am :)) I was able to bring it to life and am hoping to get a patent out of it. To learn more about it, you have to wait until my paper gets published. Until then, this abstract of the study presented at the AAPS meeting will hopefully whet your appetite.
If I was not doing a Ph.D. I would most certainly be screaming my lungs off on some D-list rock show.
If you want to hear me rant about things in general, you are welcome to visit my journal.

Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don’t you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘The world according to Prerona…….’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run http://www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows..
Cheers,
