Hello!
My name is Shreeyansh Pandey, welcome to my personal homepage!
I am a student at UCSD who likes cats, Minecraft, and biology.
Feel free to explore the other windows to learn more about my interests, projects, and goals!
Chicken the Cat
We didn't get Chicken like most people get their cats. He used to be our neighborhood stray, eating what people gave him.
When the COVID lockdown happened, we began to spend a lot more time with him. He started living outside our house all day. Eventually, he ventured indoors and chose us to be his family.
He still roams around outside every day despite being pretty old now.
My Interests
📝 Science Communication
I enjoy translating complex scientific concepts into accessible content. I write articles for clubs at UCSD, where I work on making research findings understandable for broader audiences. Effective science communication is essential for public health literacy and helps bridge the gap between research and public understanding.
👕 Fast Fashion & Environmental Health
Working on a collaborative research study examining the environmental and health impacts of fast fashion among San Diego students. Our team is targeting pediatricians to raise awareness about textile-related health concerns, particularly focusing on how microplastics and chemical exposures from synthetic clothing affect children's health. We are presenting our findings as a poster at an upcoming conference. This interdisciplinary project combines public health policy, environmental science, and community outreach.
🌍 Global Health Policy
I'm deeply interested in international health governance and have written analytical pieces on PEPFAR policies and global health initiatives. Understanding how policy decisions affect healthcare delivery on a global scale is crucial to creating equitable health systems.
🧬 Oncology Research
I'm passionate about cancer research and aspire to become an oncologist who views healthcare as both science and advocacy. I've written about Notch signaling pathways and their implications in cancer treatment, exploring how these molecular mechanisms can inform therapeutic approaches.
🦠 Microbiomes in Medicine
The overall neglect of microbiomes in medicine until recently means we have lots to rediscover. I'm fascinated by the microbiome-cancer relationship and how understanding these complex ecosystems can lead to new treatment approaches and insights into disease prevention.
🎻 Music & Teaching
Outside of science, I play violin and enjoy teaching music. There's something special about helping others discover their musical abilities and watching their progress over time.
✍️ Creativity & Web Design
I balance my scientific pursuits with creative outlets like writing and web design. This website is a testament to my interest in blending retro aesthetics with modern functionality!
My Skills
Tools and technologies I use
Studies and Goals
Current Studies:
I am a Human Biology student at UCSD ERC. I just started my first quarter of my freshman year and I am settling in decently well.
Career Goals:
My goal is to become an oncologist or cardiologist, but I don't really know yet. Maybe I'll do research. The path is still unfolding!
Immediate To-Dos:
- Find research opportunities
- Start volunteering
- Get my EMT certificate
Other Passions:
I used to play the violin but stopped when I injured my back. I want to approach it with renewed feeling for the art.
I also like literature. Currently I am reading Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha.
My favorite authors are Toni Morrison (for what she addresses and how she does it in a refreshing way) and Jane Austen (I like comedies of manners and I think she is a master of satire).
