Dhwani Biyani

Choosing SSCA was one of my best decisions. With a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology, I was intimidated to learn about Nutrition. But from the very first lecture, the faculty made learning so enjoyable. Even with the ongoing pandemic, the online classes were not a shortcoming. Daily activities, seminars, and even practical approaches made me confident to learn more about Nutrigenomics".
