Anushka Anant Padmanabhan

Anushka serves as the Deputy Director for Programming Outreach. She is a graduate student at Penn Engineering pursuing a Master's in Biotechnology with a concentration in Biopharmaceutical Engineering. Her current research focuses on CAR T cell therapy, particularly investigating the mechanisms of relapse in hematological patients treated with CART19.

Now, she's bringing her enthusiasm to the GAPSA Programming Committee, ready to plan events that are as fun as they are engaging. With a passion for building community, Anushka is excited to organize activities that bring the graduate student body together. When she's not busy doing science puzzles or planning events, you'll find her dancing and discovering Philly’s food scene!
