Graduate Student
Isha Sehrawat, MSc,Bsc
MS: Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Padua, Italy
BS: SGT University, Delhi-NCR, India
My academic journey started with traditional training as a clinical neuropsychologist, but my curiosity led me to explore how findings from animal models, particularly in proprioception, can have meaningful clinical applications and impacts.
Outside the lab, you’ll find me diving into a good book, indulging my love for all things horror, or hunting for the best coffee spots in town.
