About

I am an interdisciplinary bioscience researcher with doctoral and postdoctoral training in biochemistry and molecular biosciences.
After completing my PhD, I pursued postdoctoral research through competitive national fellowships, including independent and investigator-led projects.
My work has resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications across diverse areas of bioscience, reflecting an interdisciplinary research trajectory.
I have qualified national-level competitive examinations in life sciences (including CSIR-NET and GATE) and have experience leading funded research, collaborating across disciplines, and mentoring trainees.

Disciplines: Biochemistry; Molecular Biology; Computational Biology; Biophysics

Skills and expertise: Protein biochemistry and purification; protein aggregation assays; intrinsically disordered proteins; molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations; In silico drug designing; biophysical characterization (CD, fluorescence, TEM/SEM); data analysis; proposal and scientific writing

Languages: English; Hindi; Urdu
