Sahana Kumar
I have a bachelor's degree in bioengineering and fine arts (Bharatanatyam). My Ph.D. research focuses on assessing the properties of mucus in airways and exploring gene therapy approaches as potential treatments for chronic respiratory diseases. I am interested in science policy and in leveraging my technical expertise to inform evidence-based policymaking that supports innovative therapeutics and advance public health initiatives.
Outside of research, I am passionate about dance and actively practice and perform Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form.
