About

I am broadly interested in how biological structures self-organize and perform computations. More specifically, I am developing a research program to understand and control the collective behavior of human immune cells. By doing so, I hope to build programmable biological robots that fight intruders like infections or tumors. This work is being pursued in Don Ingber's lab at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University.

Previously, I got my PhD from the Lew lab at Duke University where I studied how eukaryotic cells respond to chemical gradients. To uncover gradient sensing mechanisms, I combined yeast genetics, quantitative live cell imaging, and mathematical modeling. My colleagues and I mechanistically described dynamics of a cell's polarized front, discovered that the polarized front can perform chemotaxis up chemical gradients, and theoretically predicted mechanisms underlying chemotactic bias (Ghose & Lew, 2020,  Ghose et al, 2021).

Outside the lab, I enjoy painting, playing guitar,  and riding single-wheeled things.
