A native of Sri Lanka, Satish received his BSc in biomedical science from Monash University in 2013. He joined the Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program in Fall 2014 and has been with the Sumanas Lab since Spring 2015.
Satish’s current project focuses on studying the molecular mechanisms which govern sprouting angiogensis in zebrafish. To this end, he is working on developing a conditional knockout of the gene etv2 using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. Outside the lab, Satish is an avid violinist and is also a keen squash and table tennis player.
