“I was raised in a family of physicians. Both my parents are doctors, and I grew up listening to their conversations about managing difficult cases, so I was very interested in the field of medicine from an early age,” says Dr. Gandhi, who was born and raised in India. Dr. Gandhi attended the prestigious Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi and worked on a project funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research that investigated advanced methods of tuberculosis detection. “I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to become a doctor. But I was also interested in new discoveries, so I knew that in addition to taking care of patients, I somehow wanted to be actively involved in research to move the field forward.”
