Prisha Gupta

I am a first‑year Life Sciences student at McMaster University with a strong curiosity for genetics, cellular biology, and the biology of aging. I am beginning to explore how biomarkers, epigenetics, and microbiome‑based interactions influence health, disease, and cellular change.

With early involvement in academic writing, community education, cultural research, and clinical exposure, I have built a foundation in communication, critical thinking, and compassion‑driven problem solving. My experiences across science outreach, tutoring, and leadership roles reflect my commitment to making science accessible, supporting diverse communities, and developing as both a learner and future researcher.

Motivated, reliable, and eager to grow, I am seeking opportunities to gain hands‑on research experience and contribute to projects involving cellular biology, aging, and molecular health.

• Genetics and cellular biology, with a focus on understanding molecular pathways that regulate cell function.
• Biomarker‑based approaches to detect, monitor, and characterize aging‑related cellular changes.
• Mechanisms of aging, including cellular senescence, telomere dynamics, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA damage.
• Epigenetic regulation of gene expression and its role in aging and disease.
• Microbiome‑driven interventions that influence immunity, metabolism, and aging.
• Inter‑organism or cross‑species therapeutic strategies (e.g., microbiome‑mediated or symbiotic interventions).
• Cancer biology, particularly genetic mutations, dysregulated cellular processes, and opportunities for targeted molecular therapies.
