Sumedha Mukhi

Molecular biologist with 6+ years of experience in genetics, metabolic disease, vaccine research, and cancer biology. Currently, in the Krishnan lab, I’m exploring the genetic secrets of Astyanax mexicanus—a tale of two fish (surface and cave morphotypes)—to uncover how cavefish masterfully evade starvation-induced oxidative stress. When I’m not in the lab, you’ll find me seeking balance in the spiritual realm—practicing yoga, meditating, and diving deep into the metaphysical wonders of existence.
