I am Vidthdyan Veeravakaran, a PhD Fellow specializing in Cancer Research and Genome Editing. My academic journey is driven by a fascination with the microscopic mechanisms that govern human health and a burning interest in making a difference in improving human health.
Currently, I am conducting my doctoral research at Department of Hematology, Aalborg University Hospital and Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University in Denmark.

My work sits at the cutting edge of precision medicine. I utilize different CRISPR-Cas9 technologies and functional tests to investigate the molecular drivers and passengers of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. A significant part of my research involves deciphering Variants of Uncertain Significance - the genomic "gray areas" where we see a genetic variant but don't yet understand its impact on disease development.
By understanding these variants, we can move closer to truly personalized cancer treatments.
Before I started my PhD, I earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biotechnology and Medical Biotechnology, respectively. My background has provided me with a rigorous foundation in molecular techniques, data analysis and visualization, and experimental design.
In addition to my research, I am passionate about:
In addition to my research, I am passionate about:
- Science Communication: Simplifying and educating the complex without losing the truth.
- Translational Medicine: Moving discoveries from the lab bench to real-world application.
- Innovation in Biotech: Staying at the forefront of the global life science sectors
I am always open to discussing research topics, collaborations, science communication projects, or future opportunities in the biotechnology sector.
