I am originally from Sri Lanka. After completing my undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka, I moved to Ohio, USA to join the PhD program at the University of Toledo. During my PhD, I focused on understanding the molecular regulation of G protein localization and its pharmacological implications. My interest in pursuing a research career in developing targeted therapy for cancer to overcome chemotherapeutic resistance led me to join the Vindigni lab in 2023 as a post-doctoral associate. Currently, my project focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which PRIMPOL-dependent single-stranded DNA gaps are repaired. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, watching movies and TV series on Netflix, baking, and traveling.
