About

I am a microbiologist with a strong academic foundation and practical laboratory experience. After completing my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Microbiology, I also pursued a Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (PGDMLT), which gave me hands-on expertise in diagnostic and clinical practices. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. on “Computational and Biological Evaluation of FDA Approved Drugs and Phytochemicals for SARS-CoV-2 Inhibition”, where I combine computational modeling with biological evaluation to identify potential antiviral candidates. I am also working at SN Gene Lab, contributing to research in drug discovery and molecular evaluation. My efforts have been supported by the SSIP Grant (Student Startup & Innovation Policy), which recognizes innovative approaches in microbiology and computational drug research. My career objective is to integrate computational biology with experimental microbiology to drive innovation in therapeutic discovery and global health solutions.
