Pune: Priyanka Joshi, former student of Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has been featured in Vogue magazine as one of the 50 most influential women working in Britain.
She has also been featured earlier by Forbes magazine in their ‘Under 30 Science and Healthcare’ category after barely finishing her PhD. The category is for those below 30 years old who have extensively contributed in the above-mentioned fields.
Joshi moved to Cambridge University for research in her field after completing her graduation and post-graduation from SPPU.
