Profile Summary

Indira completed her doctoral studies in Biomedical Sciences in the Netherlands in 2014, where she studied the homeostasis of leukocytes in immune pathologies. After that she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, from 2014 to 2016, where she engineered immune cells to target cancer cells for destruction. The immune cell therapy that Indira developed at the Fred Hutch advanced to clinical trials for paediatric patients. After her postdoctoral studies, Indira worked as an Applications Scientist at Nanostring from 2016 to 2022 and Oxford Nanopore from 2022 to 2025.
