🙏Namaste!🙏

This is Dr. Tryambak Srivastava, a dedicated research scientist at the Department of Biochemistry, AIIMS, New Delhi.

My primary research focuses on unraveling the intricate role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer pathogenesis. This comprehensive study encompasses both cell line investigations and clinical research involving patients undergoing surgical interventions at AIIMS. By integrating basic science with clinical applications, our multidisciplinary team aims to uncover novel therapeutic targets and enhance the understanding of breast cancer mechanisms. This collaborative effort includes contributions from basic scientists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists specializing in medical, surgical, and laboratory disciplines.

My academic journey began with an integrated B.Sc. B.Ed. program at the prestigious Regional Institute of Education, Bhubaneswar. This program laid the foundation in both scientific knowledge and educational methodologies. Following this, I pursued an MSc. in Biotechnology from South Asian University (SAU), New Delhi. My master’s dissertation focused on examining the efficacy of a maturation inhibitor against HIV-1 Subtype C, a strain prevalent in South Asia and Africa. This research not only honed my skills in virology and drug efficacy studies but also instilled a deep interest in translational research. During my time at SAU, I was actively involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities, participating in various university and inter-university events, which enriched my academic and personal development.

Beyond the lab, I am passionate about science communication and strive to make science accessible and engaging for all. As a blogger, I share my thoughts and discoveries through various forms of writing, including micro-fiction, poetry, and contemplative essays. In 2020, I embarked on the #365DaysOfScience initiative, where I committed to sharing a science-related tweet every day for a year. This project allowed me to explore and communicate a wide array of scientific topics, from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge research. In 2021, I expanded my efforts with the #TWiS (This Week in Science) section on my blog, providing detailed discussions on recent scientific papers and developments. In 2022, I challenged myself further by reading and tweeting about a scientific paper daily, fostering continuous learning and engagement with the latest research.

Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I enjoy exploring the intersections of science and art, reflecting on the broader implications of scientific discoveries, and engaging with the community through public speaking and writing. My blog serves as a platform for sharing my journey, insights, and creative expressions. I take immense pride in my roots and my mother tongue, Bhojpuri. I am committed to promoting science communication in vernacular languages, making scientific knowledge more accessible to non-English speaking communities. By bridging the gap between advanced scientific research and local languages, I aim to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of science among diverse audiences.

I invite you to explore my work, join the conversation, and connect with me as we navigate the fascinating world of science together. May the mitochondria be with you! 🧬🔬
