Ashwin Chetty joined Close Concerns in 2021 after graduating from Yale University with a double major in Philosophy and Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry.  At the Yale School of Medicine, Ashwin investigated kinase specificity between serine and threonine phosphosites using X-ray crystallography, and at AstraZeneca he developed a machine learning model to predict the photooxidative degradation of protein therapeutics.  Outside of academics, Ashwin danced for the Yale bhangra team and organized hikes, movie nights, and large cooking sessions for the South Asian Society.  At Close Concerns, Ashwin is looking forward to immersing himself in the world of diabetes and obesities, writing constantly about what he learns, and clarifying what his future in healthcare may look like.  In his free time, Ashwin enjoys running, learning to cook, reading, and watching documentaries.
