About Sindhu

“Hi, I’m Sindhu Naik and I’m excited to join TU Delft and SynCellEU as a project leader.

Previously, I worked as a scientist at Galapagos, a pharmaceutical company, where I developed in vitro disease models to study various pathologies, including kidney diseases. Before that, I received my PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Sheffield, UK. I also worked at Goldman Sachs as an associate for five years after my bachelor’s degree.

Originally from India, I have been living in the Netherlands for the past five years. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading non-fiction books, and spending time with my almost two-year-old son.

I look forward to learning and taking on new challenges in this role!”
