Raina Talwar Bhatia

Raina is a undergraduate and coterm student at Stanford, studying Bioengineering and International Relations. She is passionate about biosecurity, and bio-economy policy, particularly, through the lens of geopolitical interactions and competition. Raina has previously attended the UN's Biological Weapons Convention as a youth delegate to present her research on glaring gaps in high-risk laboratories worldwide. She hopes to use this experience to identify opportunities for the US to remain at the forefront of biotechnological innovation and to understand barriers to innovation in this space.
