In this episode, we talk with Dr. Pankhuri Singhal, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Singhal works in the lab of Dr. Anurag Verma, where she develops AI driven algorithms to help diagnose people at risk for complex diseases, such as hereditary cardiac conditions, using electronic health records from hospital systems.

We explore her unique path transitioning from a wet lab background to computational research during graduate school, her practical advice for students making a similar switch, and her approach to mentorship. Dr. Singhal also shares her experience balancing major life changes during her postdoc and offers insights for early career scientists.
