Biography

I’m originally from Janakpur, Nepal. I chose Roswell Park for its true bench-to-bedside feel and the chance to do hands-on lab work in malignant hematology. My academic interests include lymphoma, leukemia, CAR-T therapy, resistance mechanisms, and improving toxicity monitoring through real-world data. 

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Buffalo discovering local coffee spots, and taking quick weekend trips to nearby parks and trails.
