I’m Riti, all the way from India, and I’m beyond excited to start the Master’s Programme in Translational Physiology and Pharmacology here at Karolinska Institutet, and to join the amazing Digital Ambassador team on Instagram!

I did my bachelor’s in pharmacy, and ever since then, I’ve been absolutely fascinated by how medicines work and how research transforms ideas into real treatments. And honestly, what better place to dive deeper into that world than KI, where you’re constantly surrounded by people who love asking questions and finding answers?

So far, Stockholm has been everything I dreamed of – beautiful views, cosy fika spots, a vibrant mix of cultures and an incredible cohort of international students. I can’t wait to explore different research groups, career paths, and share snippets of student life, studies, and a bit of Swedish adventure with all of you!

When I’m not studying, you’ll probably find me dancing, painting, singing, or getting creative in the kitchen (I’ve been cooking up quite a few experiments here too – but the edible kind). I'm looking forward to an incredible journey ahead filled with science, friendships, collaboration, growth and lots of fika!
