Biography
Swastika grew up in Kolkata, India. She earned her PhD degree from Creighton University School of Medicine, Omaha, Nebraska. Her thesis research involved the investigation of the role of Polo-Like Kinase 1 and smooth muscle cells in coronary artery bypass conduits and arteries following angioplasty. Before that, Swastika earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biotechnology from Bangalore University, India.
