About the Speaker
Pritha Ghosh is a Clinical Scientist with 14+ years of research experience spanning microbiology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. She works at the intersection of computer science and medicine — using software, large-scale clinical data, and natural language processing to draw out insights that shape how doctors and researchers make decisions in oncology and infectious diseases.
Her PhD and postdoctoral research focused on RNA–protein interactions, building a strong foundation in molecular biology and computational analysis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she contributed to characterising SARS-CoV-2 genomes as part of the global scientific response. She has authored 20+ peer-reviewed research articles, several reviews, a book chapter, and a US patent application.
Pritha has also been training and practising Hindustani Classical Vocal music and Odissi dance since the age of three and a half. Join us in a conversation where we discover how she has held and grown these threads through her life as a student, researcher and professional.
What We’ll Explore
Biology Meets Computing
Most students think biology means lab coats and microscopes. The modern reality is code, data, and statistics. What does her work actually look like on a Tuesday?
Two Disciplines, One Life
Hindustani Classical Vocal music and Odissi dance, alongside a serious career in science. How have they shaped each other — and what do they have in common?
For a Kid Who Loves Two Things
The question every parent in the room is silently asking: do they have to choose? An honest answer from someone who didn’t.
About the Series
Many Roads: Exploring Careers
Most students in India hear about the same five careers. The coaching pipeline narrows options early, and by the time they’re in middle school, many kids already believe their future is a choice between engineering and medicine.
The reality is far more interesting. The world is full of people who built fulfilling, successful careers by following their curiosity. Through unexpected turns, unusual choices, and paths that made sense only in hindsight.
Many Roads is Gifted World’s monthly career conversation series. Each session, we sit down with someone who has built a career worth talking about. The conversations are honest, personal, and designed to help students aged 10–16 and their parents think bigger about what’s possible.
Real Conversations
Not lectures. A genuine conversation about choices, failures, and surprises.
Student Q&A
Every session includes 15 minutes for students to ask their own questions directly.
Diverse Paths
Tech, science, design, the arts — people who took the road less prescribed.
Families Welcome
Students and parents attend together. Saturday evenings, 6:30 PM IST on Zoom.
What Our Community Says
“I can easily top my class in school. But here, everyone is very intelligent. I felt challenged and that made me interested.”
— Iniyan, student, Dubai
“Not for coaching, not increasing your marks from 90 to 100%. The goal was to make sure the child understands and enjoys the real deep understanding.”
— Sateesh, parent, Bangalore
