SAMIK HAZRA

About

Ph.D. in Botany with research experience in pharmacognosy, ethnopharmacology, and medicinal plant studies. Trained in documenting traditional medicinal knowledge and translating it into laboratory-based investigations through phytochemical profiling and biological assays. Hands-on experience includes HPLC and GC–MS analysis, in vitro bioassays, and the use of computational tools for small-molecule screening and property assessment. Research interests lie in understanding bioactive plant compounds through integrated experimental and computational approaches, with an emphasis on generating reproducible, mechanism-oriented biological data.
