About
Grace Kaul is a DST INSPIRE Faculty Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK), India. She formerly worked as an Institute Postdoctoral Fellow in Prof. Sandeep Verma’s research group, in the Department of Chemistry, IITK. She received her doctorate in Biological Sciences from CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow, India, where her work encompassed investigation of antibacterial resistance mechanisms, rational design and development of novel antibacterials, and implementation of drug-repurposing strategies. She previously earned her Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Biotechnology from Dr. R. M. L. Avadh University, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. Her current research focuses on how bacterial pathogens adapt to therapeutic pressure, exploring peptide-based and small-molecule interventions to overcome resistance while improving treatment outcomes. Dedicated to translational impact, she pursues interdisciplinary approaches to address the global challenge of drug-resistant infections.
