Aishwarya earned her Ph.D. from University of Helsinki with Dr. Harri Itkonen. She studied the effects of O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation on nascent transcription in prostate cancer. Before starting her Ph.D, she worked as a Senior Domain Engineer at Persistent Systems, India. She completed her master's in Bioinformatics from Savitribai Phule Pune University, where she worked on database development and management for biological data. Her research interests include transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, prostate cancer, and multi-omics approaches.
