When I Was 13 is a podcast that is also a time machine. In this episode, we meet Aparna Sapra, who is a geneticist and the co-founder of Stellar Gene.
Aparna takes us back to Bombay in 1989, when she was 13\. While she did not know what she wanted to do later in life, she knew that biology was her favourite subject and she would love to do something around biology.
Talking with Aparna helped me understand what microarray and genomics are all about. Aparna's work at Stellar Gene involves researching genetic make-up to help find cure for diseases linked to chromosomal disorders.
So join me on my time machine and hear about Aparna Sapra's world when she was 13.
