Shraddha Handa

Passionate about decoding the genetic underpinnings of disease, I am currently involved in cutting-edge medical genomics research focused on Cardiac Channelopathies, exploring how rare and uncertain genetic variants contribute to sudden cardiac death and inherited arrhythmias. My work bridges molecular biology and bioinformatics, combining variant interpretation, exome sequencing, and cell-based approaches to understand cardiovascular risk at the genomic level.With master’s in Forensic Science (specialization in Forensic Biotechnology), I also bring hands-on expertise in DNA extraction, mitochondrial DNA analysis, and advanced sequencing techniques. I am driven by the intersection of research, diagnostics, and real-world clinical impact — and committed to pushing the boundaries of precision medicine.
