Berty Ashley

BERTY ASHLEY is a molecular biologist with the Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust and works with rare genetic disorders. What is not rare though is to see him conducting quizzes or attending them. Berty is also a lover of music—not only playing but collecting, as is evident by his growing stack of vinyl records of jazz, Hindustani and heavy metal music. He and his partner, Akhila, live in Bengaluru, surrounded by books, music and an assortment of pens and guitars.
