Meet USC’s CIRM Scholar Alumni: Suhasni Gopalakrishnan, Director at Allogene Therapeutics “I feel like I'm a person who goes with the flow,” said Suhasni Gopalakrishnan, Director at Allogene Therapeutics in San Francisco. Going with the flow has led Gopalakrishnan to many fascinating places. Originally from Chennai in southern India, she grew up in a family of scientists and engineers. “I was always interested in science and math,” she said. “And when it came time for me to decide what major I wanted to pursue for my undergraduate studies, I was choosing between conventional engineering paths or something else. And that something else happened to be biotechnology, mostly because I felt like there were way too many electrical and computer engineers in my family!” https://stemcell.keck.usc.edu/cirm-scholar-alumni-suhasni-gopalakrishnan/
