Our Research Team

Madhura Panse

Madhura is a Microbiology graduate with a post-graduate degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Her innate curiosity about life’s functionality drove her to pursue and complete her doctorate in Germany, where she specialised in understanding the mechanisms involved in the development of type-2 diabetes.

Research has been her passion for many years, and she is keen to contribute towards improving the education sector. She has taught undergraduate students and briefly mentored them for their research projects. Currently she is putting her solid research experience to work at an NGO that works in the field of ecological sanitation.

Her long-standing desire to learn psychology and understand human behaviour drove her to join Aatman and there has been no looking back since then. At Aatman, she uses her strong research skills to give shape and direction to our research projects and mentor our young undergraduate students with her natural warmth and charm.
