Dr. Raghavan directs her lab's sandbox in reverse engineering biological mechanics like Lego sets. When she's not working, she enjoys reading a good book, cooking, taking on baking projects beyond her amateur skills with her children, and hiking. She is also a passionate teacher, and loves being in the engineering classroom teaching students to appreciate the complexity of cancer and women's health.
