Biography
Pranav Ravichandran is from Glen Allen, Virginia and graduated from Mills E. Godwin High School’s Specialty Center for Science, Math, and Technology. He is graduating with a Bachelor of Science with Specialization in Biochemistry degree.
Pranav has been a member of the Perez-Reyes lab in the Department of Pharmacology since spring semester of his first year. He has worked on a variety of different projects and has since focused his time on testing a novel model of epilepsy. His research has focused on stimulating mice and testing novel gene therapies to cure epilepsy symptoms.
Outside of his research, Pranav volunteered at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad as an EMT for a large portion of his time.
