Nitya's primary interests lie in the dynamics of the expanding life sciences industry in India and how bioethics and public policy apply to India's health sciences. Her professional goal is to become an authority in bioethics and policy- specifically in the area of HIV/AIDS. Nitya also hopes to learn French and eventually be able to speak fluent Hindi.
