Arav Nangia

Hi! My name is Arav, and I’m a biochemistry major also interested in statistics in the class of 2026. I’m currently a member of the Lampson lab where I study telomere maturation during early developmental stages as well as processes that regulate telomere elongation. Outside of research, I’m involved in Science Olympiad at Penn (SOUP) and the Undergraduate Chemistry Society (PUCS). I have research experience in both wet lab and computational work and would be happy to help students find research that best aligns with their interests.

Feel free to reach out to me about any aspect of the research process whether it be from seeking out mentors to presenting your findings. I’m happy to provide any guidance wherever I can!
