Navneet Bhasin, Senior Lecturer, Biological Sciences Collegiate Division
Since high school, Navneet Bhasin has been interested in how humans contribute to the biological world and are, in turn, affected by it. After studying microbiology through her undergraduate and graduate years, she further pursued that interest through applied biological sciences research at Harvard University and Boston University.
In her biology courses, Bhasin teaches students the methods and skills needed to find biological solutions to challenges in fields ranging from medicine to forensics.
“If you can identify problems, my classes help you develop the tools to find solutions for them,” Bhasin said. “Thinking outside the box helps drive innovation. Finding an interdisciplinary approach is key in this interconnected world of exploding information.”
