[Profile] Seema Sahay—linking behavioural science and HIV research

Today, Seema Sahay is Head of Division of Social Behavioural Research at the Indian Council of Medical Research, National Institute of Translational Virology & AIDS Research (NARI), Pune, India. Raised in New Delhi, India, Sahay has followed the path her father predicted for her as a researcher. Although she tragically lost him when aged just 17 years, she still remembers him discussing various aspects of science with her at home. While she had wanted to study genetics at university, such courses were not widely available, so Sahay ended up studying botany.
