"Don't be afraid to be different." From her hobbies to her research on the patterned physical signals that our bodies use to control plasticity, regeneration, and other biological processes, being unconventional has been a strength for Dr. Nirosha Murugan. In our podcast interview, she gives a glimpse into her life outside the lab, her career path, and some of the experiences that have shaped who she is today.
